In 1927, Henry Ford announces the end of Model T Ford manufacture.
Between 1908 and 1927, almost 15 million Model Ts were produced, delivering inexpensive four-wheeled horsepower to the public. The popular automobiles remained workhorses in Depression-era America. Henry Ford's Model T revolutionised transportation by providing a simple, economical, and long-lasting vehicle. Before discontinuing production in May 1927, Ford produced 15 million Model Ts, making it one of the best-selling cars of all time and possibly the most renowned car in the world. On May 26, 1927, Henry Ford and his son Edsel drive the 15 millionth Model T Ford out of their plant, thus marking the end of the renowned vehicle.
