Ford Model T car, the legendary model that put America in motion. It was the first car, even the first object in the world produced on a manufacturing and assembly line. Produced in a very large number, about 15 million copies, with a reduced manufacturing and selling price, it cost the equivalent of three average salaries, Ford Model T recorded a huge success. The success was also consolidated by the fact that, for that time, it was a technically revolutionary car although simple and easy to understand, easy to use, very efficient, very reliable, cheap and easy to repair in the rare cases when it broke down. An example of a durable car, such as we hardly find today.
The model proposed in the auction has been fully restored in the United States of America, all stages of restoration being documented. It works perfectly and can travel, it is registered and holds a Historic Vehicle Certificate.
