When was the first mass-produced automobile sold?

The Ford Model T was introduced in 1908 and became the first automobile built for mass ownership. Its production was revolutionized in 1913 when Ford adopted the moving assembly line, dramatically reducing the time needed to build each car. The Model T became affordable to many middle-class Americans and helped motorize society. By the time production ended in 1927, more than 15 million had been built. It remains one of the most influential cars ever made.
