Henry Ford wanted to design a popular car to meet public demand. On his third attempt at selling cars, he was able to sell a large number. The Model A (1903) and Model C (1904) were highly successful, but at $750 or more, they were still a luxury unaffordable by most families.

The Model T (1908) was the first mass-production vehicle, selling more than 16 million in 19 years. By adopting assembly line techniques, Model T's could be assembled in as little as 93 minutes. By the 1920's, their retail price averaged less than $400, making them affordable to the middle class.

Did Henry Ford invent the model T car?

Yes, Henry Ford did invent the Model T. car. He invented it in 1925 and sold it for $281. It has never been proven that Henry Ford ever said, "You can paint it any color...," but the phrase has survived for 3/4 of a century and does indicate something about America's beloved Model T: its "steadfastness," its enduring and endearing "sameness." The first production Model T Ford was assembled at the Piquette Avenue Plant in Detroit on October 1, 1908. Over the next 19 years, Ford would build 15,000,000 automobiles with the Model "T" engine, the longest run of any single model apart from the Volkswagen Beetle. From 1908-1927, the Model T would endure with little change in its design. Henry Ford had succeeded in his quest to build a car for the masses.
