Ford Model T
Tudor

By 1926, the Model T was in its final full season of an 18-year run that had already reshaped American life. Henry Ford's insistence on incremental refinement over redesign meant the car that closed out the T era still shared its bones with the runabouts of 1908 — but with real comforts the earliest buyers never had.

• Power comes from a 2.9-liter (176.7 cubic inch) inline four-cylinder L-head engine producing about 20 horsepower, paired with a three-speed planetary transmission — two forward speeds and reverse, operated by foot pedals rather than a hand-shifted gearbox.
• The Tudor was Ford's two-door sedan body, offering enclosed, weatherproof seating for up to five — a significant step up in comfort from the open touring cars and roadsters that dominated the T's earlier years.
• Ford produced roughly 1.67 million Model Ts in the 1926 model year alone, out of more than 15 million built over the model's full run.
• 1926 also broke Ford's famous "any color so long as it is black" policy of 1913–1925, reintroducing a factory color palette in the Model T's final seasons.
• The Model T's rugged build and high ground clearance made it well suited to the unpaved roads still common across much of the country in the mid-1920s.
