Centenary of the Model T
A conversation about the remarkable effect Ford's Model T had on American and Australian society at the beginning of the 20th century, as it kicked off an urban car culture. And the lessons of the Model T are still applicable in the current global automotive market with China and India ripe for a reliable, low cost, low fuel, contemporary car.
