With the Model T, Ford not only revolutionized the industry, but also allowed many Americans to acquire a cheap and functional vehicle. This means that in many cities they begin to organize races, and even the American youth begins to test the model T in hippodromes. This causes many Ford T's to transform, giving birth to the Speedster version. The ICM brand has reproduced this "sports" variant of the T model, with a
detailed engine, as well as the axles and other mechanical components, and with
white molded tires just as they were offered at the time.

Paints recommended by ICM / SpotModel for this product:
In October 1908 the Ford T starts a new era in automobile production, and with it Ford manages to create the "universal car". A vehicle with which Ford tries to meet its own quality demands, and where the priorities for the T model are reliability and functionality, while luxury is conspicuous by its absence. The bodies of the first years are made of wood. Later, the structure is covered with aluminum plates, and later with steel. For this reason the vehicle is popularly known as Tin Lizzy.
A large part of the parts are manufactured in the early years at the facilities of suppliers, including the Dodge brothers, with Ford acting more as an assembly plant than a production one. Years later, Ford also breaks new ground in production methods. The first step is the introduction of the "conveyor chain" in the manufacture of parts. Subsequently, other manufacturing processes are integrated and, finally, the manufacture of parts and the final assembly are unified in a homogeneous system.
What is known as the "assembly line" was born, allowing Ford to enter the mass production of automobiles.
