" The revolutionary Model T factory assembly line system was devised mostly by Charles E. Sorensen and Charles Lewis . 1 The Model T had 177 in³ (2. 9 L) 4 cylinder motor in a block producing 20 horsepower (15 kW) for a top speed of 45 mph (72 km/h). The engine had side valves and 3 main bearings. Recent accounts credit the default-configuration Model T with fuel economy on the order of 25 to 30 miles per gallon.

" Black paint was also cheaper and more durable. Henry Ford is reputed to have made the statement "Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black. " Model Ts in different colors were produced from 1908 to 1914, and then again from 1926 to 1927. By 1914, the assembly process for the Model T had been so streamlined it took only 93 minutes to assemble a car. That year Ford produced more cars than all other automakers combined. The Model T was a great commercial success, and for years in the late 1910s and early 1920s it was estimated that more than half of all motorcars in existence in the world were Model T Fords. In fact, it was so successful that Ford did not purchase any advertising between 1917 and 1923; in total, more than 15 million Model Ts were manufactured, more than any other model of automobile for almost a century.
