When the first examples of the Model T left the Piquette Avenue factory floor in 1908, they had a price that began at $600. By the time production came to a close 19-years later in 1927, it was sold for as little as $260. This decrease in price was due to Henry Ford's refined assembly process and emphasis on standardization. Production of the Model T came to a close in favor of the new Model A in 1927, after more than 15 million examples had been produced.
The Model T was steadily improved over the years. It was a very durable vehicle thanks to Ford's early decision to utilize high-tensile strength vanadium alloy steel for many of the components. This resulted in a lighter, yet stronger vehicle that many of its competitors.
The 1917 Ford Model T's had bodies that remained much the same to the prior years, however the car's appearance was dramatically altered by new fenders and the near elimination of exterior trim. The car's fenders were now curved and crowned, and the brass brightwork had disappeared. The radiator was now a sheet-metal shell that was painted black.
This particular example is a Canadian-built roadster. It is finished in red over black. It has spoked wheels which are painted in matching red and rides on white rubber tires. It has a black grained leatherette top, buttoned artificial leather seating, a black rubber floor mat, and a rear-mounted spare tire. The instrumentation is spares, consisting of just an ammeter. Although electric starting was optional until 1923, this car is so equipped.
