The Model T. A Centennial History.-Robert Casy.
2009 Michigan Notable Book, Library of Michigan. 148p., hardcover with dustjack. ISBN 9780801888502. New copy.
First rolled out in 1908 with an $850 price tag, the Model T Ford was the nation’s first mass-produced, affordable, and versatile motor vehicle. It made Americans mobile as never before, spurred a revolution in manufacturing methods, and marked a sea change in automotive design and engineering.
Originally written for the centennial celebration of the Model T, Robert Casey captures the remarkable story of that car’s history and development and of its long-lasting impact on America. Here are the people who built the Model T and how, the folks who purchased it and why, and the profound technological leaps in mass production and mass consumption that we rightly associate with Ford’s automobile.
Casey discusses how the car was designed, built, sold, and driven, as well as how owners tinkered with it. He describes the experience of driving a Model T and explains how a few engineering innovations―a one-piece cylinder block with detachable cylinder head, a clever flexible suspension system, the use of lightweight vanadium alloy steel―led to the car’s reliability and popularity and spurred innovations across the motor vehicle industry.
Richly illustrated with archival photos from The Henry Ford,
The Model T is the definitive history of an iconographic piece of American technology.
