1924 Ford Model T Speedster

The Tin Lizzie put the world on wheels during its 18-year production run; for its day, it was very advanced. Original list price was $850, but was progressively cut until a roadster sold for as little as $260 in 1925.

More than 15 million were made between October 1908, and May 1927. It formed the basis for a farm tractor (1916) and a one-ton truck (1917), and in 1919, 41% of all motor vehicles registered in Great Britain were Fords. Production soared, with the peak in 1923 when more than two million cars were delivered. Factories were opened in Britain, France and Germany to produce their own individual species of Ford. Black was the only color offered from 1914 to 1925, and a painted black radiator shell replaced the original brass type in 1917; 4-wheel brakes were never available, but electric starters were, from 1920, through it was possible to buy an open car with hand starting only and magneto-driven headlamps as late as 1925.

Speedsters were typically homebuilt cars usually done after they were set aside from normal everyday use.
