Artifact Overview

The efficiencies of the moving assembly line enabled Ford Motor Company to cut manufacturing costs for the Model T. In turn, this allowed Ford to decrease sales prices. By 1924, customers could buy a basic two-seat Model T runabout for as little as $265. That low price made the T attractive to young business professionals just starting their careers.
