ABOUT
More than 15 million Model Ts were built: performance and price gave
the car an edge. In this sense they were ‘popular’, yet owners were apologetic
about owning one. Mr Ford had the audacity to provide the car people needed,
not the car they wanted.
The reasons for the cars success can be found in the details of the
mechanical design. There is a vast technical literature available for the
expert or the enthusiast and there are 20,000 Model Ts still on the road.
This book provides a concise and fresh look at the design one hundred years
later. It is not an engineering treatise or an owner’s manual; the aim
is to get inside the mind of Henry Ford and to explain the design features
that accounted for the car’s success and to do so in a way that will appeal
to anyone who would like to know why it has generated so much enthusiasm.
The story is as much about people as it is about nuts and bolts. The character
of the engineer and his design are interwoven to a surprising degree, and
the singular personality of Mr Ford is shown to be reflected in his car.
