The Model T was the car responsible for the famous quote "you can paint it any color, so long as it’s black." Born from Ford’s desire to build a car for the greater masses, Model T was the car that transformed the nation and changed the value—more like, the meaning, of ‘cars’. Before Model T, cars had been a ‘luxury’; only the rich enjoyed its benefits. But with the coming of the Model T, the average man could now purchase a car and use as a common mean of transportation. Model T is associated with Ford’s industrial boom and the moving assembly line that allowed mass production.
