Question

Examine the photographs of the Model T. Identify three ways the car changed over its 19-year production history.

Answer 1

Answer:

From 1908 to 1913 the Model T was available in gray, green, blue, and red. But later it was only available in black. The hood and cowl areas were also changed in 1923 for a higher hood and slightly shorter cowl panel.

Explanation:

Production of the Ford Model T began in 1908 at the company’s plant in Detroit. Between 1908 and 1927, Ford built approximately 15 million Model T cars. Ford kept prices low by sticking to a single product with interchangeable parts. By building just one model (although there were different versions at different price points like the Touring and the Runabout), for example, the company’s engineers could employ interchangeable parts in the production. This reduced waste and made it easier for unskilled workers to build the cars. Production processes were further implemented and the car became only available in black beginning in 1914 because it was cheaper and dried faster than other colors of paint.
