On May 26, 1927 the Ford Motor Co. produced the last Model T, ending production of America’s first mass-produced automobile. The Model T, little changed during its lifetime, captured the nation’s imagination and catapulted Henry Ford to worldwide fame. More than 15 million Model Ts were manufactured and it enjoyed the longest production run of any automobile model in history until the Volkswagen Beetle surpassed it in 1972.
