The Assembly Line

One of the characteristics of a 1924 Touring body is the two square shaped back windows (6"-8") in the rear top. This design was produced for four years from 1922 through 1925. There were more than 600,000 touring bodies produced in 1924.

The first production Model T Ford (1909 model year) was assembled at the Piquette Avenue Plant in Detroit on October 1, 1908. In 1914 Ford produced 308,162 cars, which was more than all 299 other auto manufacturers combined. Over the next 19 years relatively few changes were made to the basic design. By 1926 the design was so antiquated that the cars could not compete with more modern designs from companies like Chevrolet. 1927 was the last year for Henry's lady, the "Universal Car".
