Ford "Model T", also known as "Tin Lizzie", is a car produced by the ‘Ford Motor Company” in 1908-1927. It was the world's first million-volume car. Henry Ford is considered by many to have "put America on wheels" by making the new car relatively affordable for the middle class American. This became a reality by introducing innovations into the production process: the use of a conveyor belt, instead of individual manual assembly, slightly without sacrificing quality, simplifying the car's structure, which, in turn, reduced the cost and price. The first copy of the “Model T” was produced on September 27, 1908 at the Pickett factory in Detroit, Michigan. “Fords” have been assembled in England since 1911, and in Germany since 1926. In 1913 a conveyor belt started operating at the Detroit factory. Car prices fell. The circle of buyers of reliable, solid cars has increased even more. The “Ford T” base produced the coupe and sports “Speedster”, racing cars and extended touring coaches, trucks, delivery vans and even tractors. By 1927, more than 15 million cars of this brand were produced. This record was broken only by Volkswagen "Kafer" in 1972.
A well-designed and richly detailed large-scale model, intended for intermediate to advanced modelers only. Perfectly detailed transmission, engine compartment, all car equipment. Double-sided printing or "metallic" paint printing has been used, where appropriate.
