With the Model T, Ford not only revolutionized the industry, but also enabled the motorization of many essential services. This led to many Ford Ts being converted, even into firefighting vehicles, allowing for rapid response. ICM has reproduced this variant of the Model T, with a
highly detailed engine and chassis, and
pre-molded white tires, just as they were available at the time. The kit also includes specific parts such as the fire escape ladder, water tanks, hoses, and auxiliary lights.
Additional details for the
Ford Model T Firetruck car scale model kit:
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.
