Ford Model T Static Assembly at the Highland Park Plant, circa 1913
01
Artifact Overview
For more than three years at Highland Park, Ford continued manufacturing Model Ts using traditional stationary-assembly methods, with small teams building each car from start to finish. It was meticulous work done by skilled craftspeople, and output was limited by the nature of the process. The moving assembly line, implemented in 1913-1914, provided a faster means of production.
