Henry Ford's Model T took the world by surprise on October 1, 1908. The assembly of the 1908 Model T took place on an assembly line at the Piquette Avenue Plant in Detroit. Ford produced the Model T for about 19 years, which dominated US car sales. After his success, Ford earned more money that all other automakers combined. The Ford Motor Company built 15,000,000 vehicles with the Model T's engine. The run of the Model T was longer than any single model apart from the Volkswagen Beetle.
