Canada

Car manufactured in Canada and bought most probably by a Canadian. Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited was incorporated in 1904 following an agreement signed by Henry Ford and his company, Ford Motor Company (founded in 1903) and Gordon McGregor of the Walkerville Wagon Works, under the initiative of the former one. Ford became number one in production and in sales in Canada until the 1930's when competition with GM caused yearly styling changes which were well received by consumers. It remained one of the first 3 main car manufacturers in Canada for many decades. Canadian-built model Ts were produced from 1908 to 1927 and were sold throughout the commonwealth.

Function

Owner driven passenger vehicle for general transportation.

Technical

Model Ts were offered in different body styles, the center door being one of them starting in 1914 for the 1915 model. It was offered until 1923. This model seems to be a 1915 one with a 1919-1920 engine. (to check). Ford model T was nicknamed 'Tin Lizzie". Produced en mass on an assembly line pioneered by Ford, their price went down which made them affordable to more people. By 1927, over 15 million model Ts had been produced worldwide, making it the first true "world car". In Canada, 15 007 033 model T's were manufactured from 1908 until 1927 for the domestic market and for exportation.
