Ugly Car #1
Lisa Bongi on the Model T Ford
An automotive classic? An icon in the develop[ment history of the automobile?
Wrong!
The Model T Ford was ugly! People bought it because it was cheap
Don’t believe me? Look at the picture. It’s an open box on wheels - designed to transport a couch. This is the car that Walmart would sell you
Don’t get me wrong. The Model T does mark a revolution in industrial production and development - but talking about the Model T is like referencing Pong when talking about video games. Everyone is just SO grateful that we’ve moved on from there.
