Ford Model T

The Model T was the first mass-produced automobile. Before its introduction all cars were hand-built horseless carriages that only the rich could afford. Ford's assembly line process sped up production and thus allowed the price to be reduced, thus allowing the average person to be able to afford it. This led to hundreds of Model Ts being sold. This has led to the car becoming iconic. The Model T is also popular amongst hot rodders, with the T-bucket being a staple of such practices.
