The model T's were made out of strong vanadium steel making them last up until today. Only two cars in the world for the next 5 years would utilize vanadium steel and that would be French luxury cars and the Model T.
The model T was designed by Childe Harold with the help of Hungarian immigrants. It's was built to get a top speed of 40-45 mph and it's fuel economy was 13-21 mpg. The engine was capable of running on gasoline, kerosene or ethanol; however, the decreasing cost of gasoline and later on the introduction to probation made ethanol and impractical fuel for most users.
Ford creative massive publicity machine in Detroit to insure every newspaper carried stories and advertisement about the Model T. Soon his product was found in every city of North America.
