From WikipediaThe Ford Model T (colloquially known as the Tin Lizzie, T‑Model Ford, or T) is an automobile that was produced by Henry Ford's Ford Motor Company from September 1908 to October 1927. It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, the car that opened travel to the common middle-class American; some of this was because of Ford's innovations, including assembly line production instead of individual hand crafting.From Twitter04/23/2013 - ToupeeDogLicking drizzle off a car bonnet (Ford Focus, silver, 2003 model, rusty). 04/03/2013 - carsnatl - link FORD: Stock 3W275854 FORD 2003 FOCUS (lithia springs) $5991: Year: 2003 Make: FORD Model: FOCUS... 04/01/2013 - TrevorLambo @GvldEverything ***** my ford f150 is 2003 model thats runs pretty good, plus my lady likes it 👌 so ***** you can try again✋😂 03/30/2013 - ThatCutieCarlee - link And these halo lights 03/24/2013 - LOOKATMYFORD - photo 1928 Ford Model A in Great Cars, Non-fiction TV, 2003-2005 Ep. 1.13 |
   
2003 Ford Model T Tour - Tin Lizzies Arrive at DearbornSource: FordDearborn, Michigan, U.S.A. portfolio | web site Posted: 13 Jun 2003 MODEL T'S HELP KICK OFF CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION The historic and anxiously awaited Centennial Model T Tour arrives at Greenfield Village. Nineteen days and 3,000 miles later, the Centennial Model T Tour has arrived in Dearborn, Mich., at Ford Motor Company World Headquarters. In celebration of Ford's 100th anniversary, Model T owners from across the United States, Australia and Germany came together May 25 and set off on a cross-country journey along the back roads of America. Through rainstorms, deserts and snow-capped mountain passes, the Model T Tour has withstood breakdowns, missing parts and all-night repairs. Yesterday, the original Model T's crossed the "finish line" one by one at the Model T Experience tent on the grounds of Ford's THE ROAD IS OURS 100th Anniversary Celebration. Tailing the caravan were several additional classic cars and enthusiast owners they had picked up along the way. Henry Ford's great-grandson, Edsel Ford II, greeted the tour at Greenfield Village and rode with organizers Joss and Susan Sanderson of Tucson, Ariz., as Grand Marshall into Ford headquarters. "I want to say to Joss and all of the Model T owners, thank you for doing an absolutely sensational job in proving to the world finally that the Model T was the car that I know my great-grandfather knew it was," Ford said. "Thank you for doing what you did. We are just so proud of you." "I had a dream about two years ago to make a car tour that was the biggest, most newsworthy car tour that ever happened," said Joss Sanderson. "Well, we certainly did that!" "I give thanks to the Ford dealers, including a special one in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, that completely rebuilt my engine in 17 hours," he added. "Fords do last forever." The Model T's will remain on display throughout the duration of Ford's centennial celebration.
