Complete Storage Security Q: What do you call a VW bus at the top of a hill? A: A miracle! TIDBITS® DRIVES CARS

by Janet Spencer Come along with Tidbits as we go for a drive! THE ORIGINAL MODEL • The first Ford Model T left the Ford Motor Company factory in Detroit, Michigan, on September 27, 1908. Within ten years, over half of all cars sold in America were the Ford Model T. • By 1914, Ford’s mass production techniques allowed the company to turn out 300,000 cars per year using only 13,000 workers compared to 66,350 workers at all the other car companies who collectively turned out only 280,000 cars. • The Model T was the first car that the common man could own. It was low-priced, reliable, and easy to repair. It could be hitched up to pump water, saw wood, chop silage, or generate electricity. With a change of wheels, it could double as a tractor. It operated as a pick-up truck, hay wagon, taxi, or fire engine. • The Model T started out priced at $850 in 1908, then dropped to $360 and later went down to $290 in 1925 (equal to about $4000 today). • It had a 20-horsepower, four cylinder engine and could travel about 45 mph (72 kph), getting up to 20 (32 km) miles per gallon. From 1908 till the end of production in 1927, over 15 million Model T Fords were made.
