Ford Model T 4-cylinder Automobile Engine, 1924
Add to SetSummary
This is the first Model T engine built at Ford's Rouge factory. The Rouge never built complete Model Ts, but it did make nearly every part that went into them. The parts were shipped back to Ford's Highland Park plant for assembly into finished cars. Not until the Model A, introduced in 1927, were cars fully built at the Rouge.
