The Ford Model T was named the most influential car of the 20th century in the 1999 Car of the Century competition, ahead of the BMC Mini, Citroën DS, and Volkswagen Type 1. Ford's Model T was successful not only because it provided inexpensive transportation on a massive scale, but also because the car signified innovation for the rising middle class and became a powerful symbol of America's age of modernization. With 16.5 million sold it stands eighth on the top ten list of most sold cars of all time. This 1917 Spectacle is in beautiful shape, from the wood windshield frame, to the floor boards, to the wheels and tires, and the drivetrain. It has made it 100 years, and you can't tell by looking at it. Come see it for yourself!
