Happy Birthday, Model T

When I was a kid, there were still a few Model A's on the road, but the Model T was about gone.

Model T: the car that shaped America turns 100 - Yahoo! News: "CHICAGO (AFP) - Ford's iconic Model T was built for the common man and began to transform the American landscape soon after it first rolled out of a Detroit factory a hundred years ago this week.

It wasn't the first car aimed at the masses, but it was the first to succeed in getting average Americans to look past horses and trolleys to the freedom of the open road."
