Artwork Description:

Asbjorn Lonvig's words: The grandma in Walth Disneys Donald Duck universe has a car like this - in Lille Fejringhus all of us are Donald Duck fans. We have a huge collrction of Donald Duck booklets and all JUMBO books. We have seen all the Donald Duck cartoons. Among my children's toy cars I found the 1919 Ford High Body Model-T Coupe as a small model. The Ford Model T vehicle changed the thought and transportation patterns of Americans as surely as railroads had altered personal travel in the 1830s was the Ford Model T. Inexpensive and trustworthy, coupes like this 1919 model allowed travelers to go wherever and whenever they pleased. Henry Ford's words: I will build a car for the great multitude. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for the individual to run and care for. It will be constructed of the best materials, by the best men to be hired, after the simplest designs that modern engineering can devise. But it will be so low in price that no man making a good salary will be unable to own one�and enjoy with his family the blessing of hours of pleasure in God's great open spaces." Wikipedia's words: The Ford Model T (colloquially known as the Tin Lizzie, Flivver, T-Model Ford, or T) is an automobile that was produced by Henry Ford's Ford Motor Company from 1908 through 1927. The Model T set 1908 as the historic year that the automobile became popular. It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, the car that opened travel to the common middle-class American; some of this was because of Ford's innovations, including assembly line production instead of individual hand crafting, as well as the concept of paying the workers a wage proportionate to the cost of the car, so they would provide a ready made market.[1] The first production Model T was built on September 27, 1908, at the Piquette Plant in Detroit, Michigan. The Model T was the first automobile mass produced on assembly lines with completely interchangeable parts, marketed to the middle class. There were several cars produced or prototyped by Henry Ford from the founding of the company in 1903 until the Model T came along. Although he started with the Model A, there were not 19 production models (A through T); some were only prototypes. The production model immediately before the Model T was the Model S, an upgraded version of the company's largest success to that point, the Model N. The follow-up was the Ford Model A and not the Model U. Company publicity said this was because the new car was such a departure from the old that Henry wanted to start all over again with the letter A. As it happens, the first Plymouth car (1928), built by competitor Chrysler Corporation, was named the Model U. The Ford Model T was named the world's most influential car of the twentieth century in an international poll.
