A SPECIAL CAR
The model T had several things that made it
different from others like Model N cars
Many cars back in the mid-industrial time were
made of a heavy steel, whereas the Model t was made
of vanadium steel (a light weight steel material.
The Model T had a sleek black structure that was
easily told apart from other cars

The Model T description was also told apart by it’s
glossy black paint, that no other car had.
This car was the absolute “want” of the mid-
industrial time period

CONCLUSION
The Car that brought all other cars to life is no longer
around.
Neither is the man who invented this great car who once
said “I will create a car of great multitude…”
But why did the car that helped people and brought
others to life have to vanish?
Why exactly did the Model T have such a traumatic
change on the way us Americans live ?
