The Model T, the first "people's car", was introduced by the Ford Motor Company. Henry Ford had no professional engineering education, but had a natural inclination towards mechanics. Earlier, the automobile fell strictly in the purview of the rich, and it was Ford's ambition to build a car for the masses.
Henry Ford used assembly-line production effectively to manufacture his celebrated Model T, nicknamed the Tin Lizzie because it used lightweight sheet steel for the body. Ford also introduced the moving conveyor belt to assembly manufacturing, further accelerating production. The production of the Model T continued till 1927, by which time, a record number - more than 16.5 million - vehicles had been produced.
