Ford Model T
Henry Ford arguably made the greatest contribution to motoring with his Model T, perhaps the most influential motor car of the 20th century. Manufactured to be affordable for the middle class, over 16 million Model Ts were built between October and May , a record only surpassed by Volkswagen's Beetle. Ford revolutionized the automotive industry by introducing mass production techniques, including moving assembly lines and just-in-time parts delivery. He is famously quoted as saying, "You can have it in any color as long as it's black," because black paint dried the fastest at that time.
In England, the Model T was assembled at a factory based in Trafford Park, Manchester. This particular van variant, with its eye-catching livery, was used in Blackpool for many years.
