Documents Henry Ford's creation.

A Complete Practical Treatise Explaining the Operating Principles of All Parts of the Ford Automobile With Complete Instructions for Driving and Maintenance

The Model T Ford was the first mass produced car and the price because of this was so low that for the first time motorcars were in the hands of people who had little or no engineering skills. This is a guide written in 1916 aiming at explaining the mechanics of a motor car to a lay audience. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

If you love cars, you will love this incredibly exciting social history of Ford's Model A. Acclaimed historian, Peter Winnewisser gives you a complete treatment of what this well-built car meant to the Ford Motor Company, the workers who built them, the dealers who sold them, the people who bought them and the neighbourhoods the Ford factories called home. This book offers an entertaining look at how the Model A helped to carry a nation through the Great Depression as well as serving as an ambassador to America's automobile past. It is full of anecdotes from owners, dealers and Ford executives complete with a comprehensive bibliography based on authentic period material from the Ford Motor Company. Plus more than 300 photographs, many from the Ford Motor Company's archives, allow you to trace and develop the Model A's rise to prominence.
