The Ford model T was successful because of many factors but most of all it was inexpensive. When the model T was first introduced it sold for around $850. This compared to other vehicles selling for 2, 3, or 4 times as much. At that time in our history only the rich could afford an automobile.

Lots of people could afford the price of the early Model T and by the time production ended in the late 20s the price had dropped to $250 which anyone could forward. When production ceased on the Model T Ford had sold over 15 million worldwide and it was the number one selling car in the world.
