Catalogue information
The simple design of the Model T allows the factory to reduce its production costs: the engine is cast in a single block, the chassis is made up of a simple straight ladder, and the bodywork is made up of sheet metal as much as possible and minimal wood. The color of the paint is offered black because it is the one that costs the least and it is also the one that dries the fastest. In addition, Ford moved production to Highland Park in 1910, and from April 1913, he set up the production line. Thus, the workers now work fixedly in front of the conveyor belt on which the frames move from station to station. This mode of production would later be called Fordism.
