Between 19, Ford made over 15,000,000 T’s, a sales record that would stand for over 50 years (eventually eclipsed by the VW Beetle), and at one time accounted for nearly half of all cars sold in the world. October 1 marked the 100th anniversary of the first Model T to roll off the Ford assembly line, and there’s not much left to be said about the car that created the world as we know it. The following was originally published in October, 2008 on the Iowahawk blog. Iowahawk himself was kind enough to grant permission to repost it here for the benefit and enjoyment of all T-Bucket enthusiasts and fans. I’ve always enjoyed this Top Ten T list and find myself coming back to it from time to time. The Iowahawk blog has transformed over time to the social media Tweets of self-described Karma’s janitor, David Burge, on Twitter as with over 143,000 enthusiastic followers who enjoy a steady stream of candidly unique and humorous insights on most things happening in the world today. That same year, journalist, author and commentator, Michelle Malkin, thanked and congratulated Iowahawk for “five fabulous years of the most superlative satire in the blogosphere!” The author went by the handle, Iowahawk and his blog was wide-ranging in its content with a strong political focus. I thought whoever blogged it was very perceptive and reflected solid knowledge of T history in the hot rod world.
Back in 2008, I came across a really interesting top ten list of T-Buckets, T roadsters or T hot rods, depending on your preference or definition.
