Re: query about T Model
 

The Ford Motor Company began producing cars in 1903. The first design sold was the Model A. Later designs offered for sale were the Models B, C, F, K, N, R and S (I may have forgotten some). In the fall of 1908, the Model T was introduced. Many auto companies used the alphabet to designate their early models. For Ford, the letter T was just next in the alphabet. In 1927, when the number of Model T's (now an obselete design) sold fell drastically, a new design was introduced. Ford started the design series over with the 1928 Model A.
