Mobil T

The Ford Model T, also known as Tin Lizzie, T-Model Ford, 'Model T Ford or just T, was an automobile that was made by Henry Ford from October 1, 1908 to May 27, 1927. Henry Ford changed the world by using  the assembly line technique to produce a car affordable for everyone. Ford's use of the assembly line had increased production speed from 12 hours and 8 minutes to one hour and 33 minutes. By 1927 an automobile was being manufactured every 27 seconds.
     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.
