The Ford Model T car was designed by Childe Harold Wills and two Hungarian immigrants, Joseph A. Galamb[10] and Eugene Farkas.[11] Henry Love, C. J. Smith, Gus Degner and Peter E. Martin were also part of the team.[12] While production of the Model T began in the autumn of 1908,[13] model years range from 1909 to 1927.

The Model T had a 177-cubic-inch (2.9 L) front mounted inline four-cylinder one block engine producing 20 hp (15 kW) for a top speed of 40–45 mph (64–72 km/h). The Model T four-cylinder sidevalve engine was first in the world with a detachable head, making service like valve jobs easier. According to Ford Motor Company, the Model T had fuel economy on the order of 13–21 mpg-US (16–25 mpg-imp; 18–11 L/100 km).[14] The engine was capable of running on petrol, kerosene, or ethanol,[15][16] although the decreasing cost of petrol and the later introduction of Prohibition made ethanol an impractical fuel.
