The Model T .... Color me Black ???

"An American can have their Model T in any color as long as it's Black"... a well known quote attributed to Henry Ford referred to Model T's produced from 1914 to 1925
1909 thru 1913 Model T Fords were available in Red, Green, Blue, or Gray, 1926 and 1927 models were available in a variety of colors
The 1914 thru 1925 Model T's were available only in Black, attributed to the fact that "Japan Black" enamel paint was the only paint available that would dry quick enough to keep up with the fast moving assembly line.

The Model T Name Origins

Did you know???

The original production model from Henry Ford was the Model A (1903), followed by the Model B (1904, 1905), and up through the alphabet until the Model T was introduced in 1908 and continued through 1927. Henry then reversed the alphabet, the Model T being replaced in 1928 by the Model A!

Henry Ford created Kingsford Charcoal Briquettes as a way to use left over wood scraps from the Model T production process

"Where the Fords go by the door..."

A poem by Fred K. Dix

Let me move from the bustling highway,
   A lonely byroad will do.
Through a land of swamp and quicksand,
   Where only the Fords get through.
In a cottage there in the maples,
   Contented I'll be evermore;
For I feel the world's growing better...
    Where the Fords go by the door.

While other cars passing my cottage,
   are ditched, or something goes wrong,
They seldom grow weary of waiting......
   For Fords to tow them along.
It seems that there's always one coming,
   Like the one rattling past them before,
And that's why I never get lonesome...
   Where the Fords go by the door.

The faint little purr of the motor,
   And tuneful honk, honk , as she goes,
Seem to lure my respect, and it follows,
   Like the cloud of gray dust that it throws.
And that's why I never get weary,
   Away from the great city's roar,
For I feel the world's growing better....
   Where the Fords go by the door.
