The Ford Model T (colloquially known as the Tin Lizzie, Leaping Lena, jitney or flivver) is an automobile produced by Ford Motor Company from October 1, 1908, to May 26, 1927.[8][9] It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, which made car travel available to middle-class Americans. The relatively low price was partly the result of Ford's efficient fabrication, including assembly line production instead of individual hand crafting.[10]
The Ford Model T was named the most influential car of the 20th century in the 1999 Car of the Century competition, ahead of the BMC Mini, Citroën DS, and Volkswagen Type 1.[11] Ford's Model T was successful not only because it provided inexpensive transportation on a massive scale, but also because the car signified innovation for the rising middle class and became a powerful symbol of the United States age of modernization.[12] With 16.5 million sold, it stood eighth on the top ten list of most sold cars of all time.
Although automobiles had been produced from the 1880s, until the Model T was introduced in 1908, they were mostly scarce, expensive, and often unreliable. Positioned as reliable, easily maintained, mass-market transportation, it was a runaway success. In a matter of days after the release, 15,000 orders had been placed.[14] The first production Model T was built on August 12, 1908[15] and left the factory on September 27, 1908, at the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant in Detroit, Michigan. On May 26, 1927, Henry Ford watched the 15 millionth Model T Ford roll off the assembly line at his factory in Highland Park, Michigan.[16]
Henry Ford conceived a series of cars between the founding of the company in 1903 and the introduction of the Model T. Ford named his first car the Model A and proceeded through the alphabet up through the Model T, twenty models in all. Not all the models went into production. The production model immediately before the Model T was the Model S,[17] an upgraded version of the company's largest success to that point, the Model N. The follow-up to the Model T was the Ford Model A, rather than the "Model U". The company publicity said this was because the new car was such a departure from the old that Ford wanted to start all over again with the letter A.
The Model T was Ford's first automobile mass-produced on moving assembly lines with completely interchangeable parts, marketed to the middle class.[18] Henry Ford said of the vehicle:
I will build a motor car for the great multitude. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for the individual to run and care for. It will be constructed of the best materials, by the best men to be hired, after the simplest designs that modern engineering can devise. But it will be so low in price that no man making a good salary will be unable to own one - and enjoy with his family the blessing of hours of pleasure in God's great open spaces.[19]
Although credit for the development of the assembly line belongs to Ransom E. Olds, with the first mass-produced automobile, the Oldsmobile Curved Dash, having begun in 1901, the tremendous advances in the efficiency of the system over the life of the Model T can be credited almost entirely to the vision of Ford and his engineers.
The Model T had a front-mounted 177-cubic-inch (2.9 L) inline four-cylinder engine, producing 20 hp (15 kW), for a top speed of 40-45 mph (64-72 km/h).[25] According to Ford Motor Company, the Model T had fuel economy on the order of 13-21 mpg‑US (16-25 mpg‑imp; 18-11 L/100 km).[26] The engine was capable of running on gasoline, kerosene, or ethanol,[27][28] although the decreasing cost of gasoline and the later introduction of Prohibition made ethanol an impractical fuel for most users.
The ignition system used in the Model T was an unusual one, with a low-voltage magneto incorporated in the flywheel, supplying alternating current to trembler coils to drive the spark plugs. This was closer to that used for stationary gas engines than the expensive high-voltage ignition magnetos that were used on some other cars. This ignition also made the Model T more flexible as to the quality or type of fuel it used. The system did not need a starting battery, since proper hand-cranking would generate enough current for starting. Electric lighting powered by the magneto was adopted in 1915, replacing acetylene and oil lamps, but electric starting was not offered until 1919.
“I wish I had that option on myself”! 😂😂😂 Me too.
Your diction is perfect. I’m from Portugal and sometimes is very difficult to follow Americans without subtitles. But you talk really clearly and at the right pace. Thank you.
Thank you! 😃
The light green tile gives a better contrast to your builds
that paint job is spot on
Thank you and thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment!
I can say that i haven't been more excited to say i found one of these in an antique shop with all the parts in the box! I'm glad someone did one of these that WASN'T just an unboxing! I'm excited to get this put together!
Hope you enjoy it!
Great build - I like these old cars, and all the little extras they include. Green towel does let parts stand out a bit more.
Cool, thanks!
I just want take the time out and say hpiguys thanks for giving me more ideas on my model builds, I also want say it been 7th months I last build a model, But I really want thanks you for getting me tho a hardest time of my life, Two weeks ago I lost my sister and I'm doing much better since then, I'm at peace now, But I'm building models in her honor, I just want take the time and thank you for helping me out so much, I learn alot of cool tips and tricks from the builds,
Sorry to hear of your troubles, try to relax and disconnect with a hobby for a bit.
It would be cool to see a video of all of your past builds. I love your models and the extra details you put into them. They have inspired a lot of my own builds. Keep up the good work! :)
Many of Chris’ past builds are on UA-cam, just search “hpiguys.” That is how I find them, I’ve watched many of them over the past few months. You will get some great tips.
I already suggested that, but he won't do a "year in review" type video, like websites do.
@@joeshmoe9978 Why would he need to do a year end video ?. Every single build he has done is in the archives for everyone to watch.
@@MrModelworx That's just how some websites do it. Usually a lot of people will post photos of all the models they completed. This usually takes place right before New Years Day. It lets other modelers enjoy seeing a summary of their builds, without going back to every post the builder made during the year (or in this case, 30 hours of videos). Other people had suggested it here, but hpiguy didn't have interest in it, and thought it would be a "brag video". Oh well...
@@joeshmoe9978 I do the same thing normally a year end video of all my builds but then again I build a fraction of what Chris builds (he's building upwards of 60 kits a year) and I know he doesn't keep them all once he's built them.
Beautiful build Chris. I think the green towel allows for a better view of what you're doing, but as you say, do what you want to do. Stay safe!
Thanks for the tips!
Please keep the green. I started using one instead of my dark brown towel. Keep up the good builds.
That turned out great Chris, thanks for sharing.👍
That’s an awesome build! Great topic too. Green towel is better. Parts pop out.
Thanks for the tip!
Green towels work fine-easy to see assembly!
Thanks!
I loved the colors. It sounds that this car came out the factory with these colors.
Thank you and thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment!
I for one love the lighter colored towels- it's a tad easier to see what you may be working on at the time. I've taken to doing what you do as well, and let me say, it's been a real help! Thanks for passing on this little tip without really even mentioning in in the past :)
Thanks for sharing!!
The green towel lets the parts stand out better and easy to see
Thank you and thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment!
I just got one of these, myself. This is a sweet kit! Gotta love those Frontenac overhead valves; they're worth the price of the model, alone! Though a 1920's Police Car would be nice to display with other "Prohibition Era" cars, I'm tempted to build this model as "Archie's Jalopy" from the 1960's comics that I remember. Thanks for posting this!
Thank you and thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment!
Yes Mr. Ford, Blue IS the new Black!! Nice job on the kit. Those are my favourite colour combos for 30's kits!!!
Thanks man!
I love watching your car build videos, at the moment I am actually working on this kit. I plan to go a different way though, I'm doing it Black with white front doors, the top portion of bonnet will also be white
This was a really nice kit to work on. Even beginners might have fun building this one.
Beautiful build and paint job Chris. Any modeler would be proud to display this sweet car on their cabinet shelf. I like the green towel. It's more lively on camera and both light & dark parts show up equally well. Thanks for another enjoyable video.
Thank you very much!
Excellent work bud, the green towel works, seems like we can see a lot better. Great work !!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Green looks good to me
Thanks!
Like the towel you used here for building. I like the backdrop in final shots, makes it look professional.
Thank you very much!
I like the green towel better. It brings out the parts and colors as a neutral background. Another great build!
Thanks so much! 😊
Awesome build. I’ve never had a problem with model roundup. I build the Chevy luv and have the autocar dump and I’m currently building the Peterbilt wrecker. I have gotten back into building during the recent down time and I’m having a blast.
I have lot of models still in the boxes ready to go. But the 1/16th scale General Lee was a nightmare flash galore and the fit issues didn’t stop until I finished 🤣. The Chevy luv was a dream to build flawless
Yes the 1/16 General can be a bear of a kit.
I dig the music Chris. Knee slappin ho down!! Keep up the awesome videos
Appreciate it!!
Good build video. I was shocked at how well the blue body went with the red wheels. The use of “light coats” of the red paint on the wheels was an excellent idea.
You and me both!
Great job. I really like the look of those spoked wheels.
Glad you like them!
BTW- I like your clean build style. I see now where I've been making my life more difficult. I love learning new techniques.
Cool, thanks!
This build is totally awesome Chris!! I love the colors you chose, Henry Ford would be proud to be pulled over by this work of art. Your back stories are always welcome, keeps model building fun!
Thanks a bunch!
i turned my 1/25 scale 1961 Chevy Impala into a police car. my next build will be the Revell 1/25 scale 1955 Lincoln Futura. Then my '57 Fairlane. i also like your videos
Thanks!
Some outstanding details in this kit!
Great build, as usual! And personally, I like the green towel. I can really see the parts very well.
Thank you very much!
I've gotta get one of these just to setup that Fronty engine! What a cool piece of hot rodding history! This could be the basis for a proper T speedster/dirt track build, or even the old Bob Estes roadster. He used it to drag race Clark Gable's Packard back in the day.
Sorry- I'm geekin' out here! I may need to get more than one of these...
Enjoy!
Fantastic build on the classic police car!!
Looks like a fun little kit to build. Good job!
Thanks!
Those helmets reminds me of the Three Stooges Bit in court. Attorney, "Drop the Vernacular." Curly, "It's a derby!"
Loved the Stooges! Hope they issue the figures again!
Great job. I'm not much into that era of cars but I really like how it turned out. I did just get the 2 full cars in 1 box model Ts that you recently did, I am building the hotrod custom for my dad. I didn't know if I wanted to build the truck but I think I will build it as a military vehicle.
Thank you and thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment!
Another fantastic build Chris! As far as your towels are concerned, I like either one. Keep them coming!
Thanks, will do!
Stunning build Chris
Thanks Ian!
An OUTSTANDING build!!.. Looks all ready for The Keystone Kops!!.. Keep up the great work Bud!!
Thanks 👍
That moment you'd love to see a 1/25th scalee kit of the Keystone Cops . . . .
Right!
Love your vids! They have really gotten me back into real model building. I'm building the Eaglemoss Delorean and Ecto-1 but that's just screwing parts together and connecting some wires. This is real custom artsy model building where your creativity can explode! Keep up the great inspiring work!
Nice, I'd love to make both of those. Enjoy!
Like the green towel. Parts show up better.
Thanks!
Outstanding build! My Son just finished a nova pro street and he loves your videos! Keep up the great work!
Awesome! Thank you!
Excellent build Chris. That will look great next to the monopoly cop car. The green towel is better, easier to see the parts in my opinion. Again excellent build.👍👍
Thanks 👍
Hello Chris, hope you are all ok. That's a beautiful build my friend, congratulations! I am working on a 1966 Beetle and began using the Rustoleum paints. Just put some primer on it and i think it will work good (finally). Trying to learn from your videos =) Blessings my friend!
Sounds great!
Probably doesn't hurt to have such a superb kit to work with!!
Awesome looking build
Thanks!
I looked at this kit.,That souped up interceptor engine,bet that made 50/60 hp!!! It looked nice but I gave it a pass in favor of the amt 34 Ford pickup custimizing kit!
I like the green towel. Seems like things stand out better.
Thanks for the info!
Quite pretty.
As for your towels, you should do a vid using both colors se we can see if one color help seeing stuff better than the other.
Thank you and thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment!
I love this kit!!
Me too!
Those old Ford's had good year tires on them
As I always say another great build. My Friend! You know what Henry Ford, "You can have any color as long it's BLACK" "Your never goin to catch me Copper" 😁😉👍
Thank you and thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment!
Great job as always Chris looks awesome STAY SAFE STAY POSITIVE
Thanks David!
Awesome job again! Also I kinda like the brown towel it just seems to show all the parts better no matter what color they are
Thanks Jay!
Awesome Kit can’t wait to get mine
Thank you and thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment!
Excellent! 👍
Another great job 👍 the coppers are coming hide the liquor
You got that right!
Nice build. An interesting piece of fire lore (sorry not police) relates to this car. A modern Chicago fire engine has a black roof because back in the 20's the city purchased this Ford Model T for their chiefs and the black canvas tops would not take paint.
Thank you and thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment!
Keystone Coppers. Another great build.
Thank you and thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment!
That's a fabulous job building it. I can easily sit here and imagine it as a 1:1, the finish is excellent and the model kit itself is true to form for the car.
lol.... the towel? Doesn't matter, as long as it's a "color". I hate seeing silver/gray/white/black these days, since that's about the only paints the auto companies use. Everybody must be "Amish" in the design departments! and can't make color commitments. 🤔😉
Thank you!
Once again , SOO KOOOOOLLLL.
Mike Espo .
Thank you and thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment!
sweet job
Thanks bud!
It looks super, another great build! I like the green towel more, the parts show up better. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it.
Thank you very much!
Great build love the green towel love your builds
Thank you! Cheers!
I remember building that kit long time ago! Gonna have to get it again
Thank you and thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment!
use green for darker models and vice versa...great build as always
Thanks for the tip!
Great build as always! I like the green towel.
Thank you! Cheers!
Looks like a nice kit yours came out great. I have always liked the Model T.
Cool, thanks!
Nice shiny paint job too!!
Thank you! Cheers!
I like your videos, you look like a kit-making machine, too bad I don't understand English 😔 a hug from Brazil!
Thank you very much!
That's a really nice kit mate, and as always built superbly !.
Very nice.
Many thanks, glad you like it Gary!
Another great build, Chris. The finished model looks superb. 👍 On the towel question, the green one is best in my opinion.
Thanks for voting!
What a cool little kit!! Fantastic build as always sir!!
Thank you kindly!
Nice build, Chris. Interesting what you did with the wheels there: Wheel inners on the outside.
This AMT kit dates back to 1963. Built mine as an Archie (Comics) 1940s teenager jalopy.
Thanks for video-ing your builds. Gives me some pointers on some new techniques, especially the use of some new products like Rust-oleum.
Thanks for the info!
Green towel, thanks this inspires me.
I'm glad!
Nice job on the small fine details....
Thank you and thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment!
Awesome job as always! Green towel . . .
Yes! Thank you!
Great kit!
Thanks!
A great model to build. And a great job as always. It would take me a year to do it with my left hand. Congrats from a friend in Ensenada Mexico
You can do it!
Great build like always, was wondering why the towel ? Now I know and it probably keeps loose parts put as well very good idea / tip..i agree the green towel is lighter and shows parts better ..so now old towels are for the work bench !!
Thanks 👍
The lighter towel let’s me see this better than the brown towel would of.
Thank you and thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment!
Looks like the Model T rust valley restorers built
Great build
Thank you and thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment!
The green towel shows the parts better than the brown
A few options with this build too!!
very nice , love it ....super fun AMT kit...I would build it as the "Touring T"
Robert
That would be cool!
Show us a tour of your room like where you put all your models in and all your models please
I don't have a room for that. I build about 104 kits per year. I'd fill houses if I tried to display all of that.
Feel free to look at the channel home page to see every single kit ever built.
hpiguys Workshop I did look at every kid that you build I was just wondering like where you put all your models how you displaying them and if you could show that
CCC Cool Cop Car. Keep the vids coming, I enjoy watching them.
Thanks, will do!
Great build. I was sure hoping to see some side curtains used. Maybe you'll do another one day. Cheers!
Maybe one day!
Looks fantastic, just a pity it didn't have the figures in the kit as per the picture on the box.
Thank you and thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment!
One video that would be cool if you made it, I know you did the AMT Police van, would like to see you do a video of the AMT Chevy Rescue van
I enjoy your work. Awesome.
Thank you! Cheers!
Back in the day, when a horse could still outrun a police car. 🐎 🚗
Thank you and thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment!
I love this one! I think I’m gonna do that one soon
Thank you and thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment!
Thats a cool 20's Ford model, I think that could be a nice centre piece of a diorama. Nice little touches with the gun and helmets. AMT do some cool accessories in 1:25 scale like garage tools and mechanics, its a pity these kits are so damn expensive over here in Europe (UK). Although like you said before in a precious video comment Gmbh Revell are expensive in the States but cheap in Europe.
Thanks Chris, yeah, we should start a kit import and export business!
Green, able to see parts better.
Thanks!
I’m working on a stock 1957 Chevy bel air model kit by Amt
Awesome video as always, I love your work.
Keep up the good work!
Greetings from Hungary
Thank you very much!
beautiful build, great color combo, looks very authentic. I do have a problem with the wheels - looks like you mounted the inner & outer halves backwards....... otherwise very cool. these are the cars (Model T's & the like) that I love & have built for over 50 years.
Could be, I punch these out in two days with full video and never claim they are perfection or to be used as reference material. I make mistakes, it's all good.
Thanks for watching man!
Outstanding and beautiful. Great work you've done Chris.
Thank you so much 😀
