1917 Ford Model T Touring Car

01

Artifact Overview

While the Ford Model T never had any major design changes over its 19-year production run, there were numerous small modifications along the way. Some, like the 1913 switch from cowhide to imitation leather interior, cut costs. Others, like the 1915 introduction of electric headlamps, incorporated technological improvements. The sleeker radiator and hood of 1917 were small concessions to style.
