On This Day May 31

The first production of the Ford Model T automobile was built at Ford Motor Company's Piquette Plant in Detroit on September 27, 1908. The Model T was very simple to drive, and easy and cheap to repair. It was so cheap at $825 in 1908 ($21,650 today) (the price fell every year) that by the 1920s, a majority of American drivers had learned to drive on the Model T. The last Ford Model T rolled off the assembly line on May 31, 1927 after a production run of 15,007,003 vehicles.
