Few would deny that the Ford Model T was perhaps the most significant car ever conceived. It was the first mass produced vehicle and was affordable enough for the general public to get their first real taste of the independence motoring offered. In the 19 years that the T was produced, over 15 million cars were built, a staggering number considering the era.

The first consumer car came off the line on October 1, 1908 which means that the Model T will be 100 years old in 2008. To celebrate, Ford has planned events through the year. Things kick off this weekend at the 2008 Amelia Island Concours in Florida and finish up with T Party 2008 in July in Richmond, Indiana. More than 1000 T’s from around the world are expected to show up for this one.
