Possibly the most iconic car ever built, the Model T made vehicles affordable to the man on the street. Thanks to Henry Ford using interchangeable parts as well as using a production line to build the car, prices for the Model T were kept low enough for ordinary people to be able to buy a car. And it showed in the sales figures with more than 15 million sold from 1908 to 1927. "Tin Lizzies" are extremely collectible today, the older the better, of course.

It featured a two-door coupe-styled body and had six different engine options, all V8's of varying size. AMX's came with either a four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission.

The Curved Dash Oldsmobile was released in 1901 and built until 1907. Before Ford had dreamed about his production line, Oldsmobile was living it when producing the Curved Dash.
