Today, I have done one of the most exciting things ever: I took a ride in the Ford Model T car of year 1911. The original Model T has been regarded as the first affordable automobile, the car that opened travel to the common middle-class Americans; some of this was because of Ford's efficient fabrication, including assembly line production instead of individual hand crafting. This is a legendary creation. This car became the symbol of affordability and freedom in the United States.

It is interesting to know that he Ford Model T was named the most influential car of the 20th century in the 1999 Car of Century competition, ahead of the BMC Mini, Volkswagen Type 1 and with 16.5 million sold it still makes the top ten list of most sold cars of all time (ranked eighth) as of 2012.

Here is me in the car today. On a beautiful New England road.
