Ford Model T
Henry's mass-produced car
The Ford Model T was an automobile produced by Ford Motor Company from 1908 to 1927, credited with making car ownership accessible to middle-class Americans.
Its assembly line production revolutionized manufacturing.
Model T often serves as shorthand for any pioneering but now-outdated technology: That computer is the Model T of laptops.
