When Henry Ford assembled the first Model T Ford, he created so much more than just a car. Within a decade, his vision transformed travel, leisure and work. And while many of these often mechanically-needy vehicles also became the punchline of their era, a surprising number of them have endured the century or so, that separates their manufacture from 2026. This Facebook group celebrates the iconic automobile through vintage photographs, footage from classic car shows, invitations to Ford themed events and also, through shared memories. One of the many video clip shares Mr. Ford's connection to another iconic vehicle brand, a post about a mechanical workshop that includes a module on the T's engine and a calendar post that shows off the Ford company's now-defunct aircraft division. Bet you didn't know Ford made airplanes too! Many of the black and white photographs document the Model T's incredible versatility and the improvising ingenuity of its people.
