Thanks Herb, a good article featuring one of the first Model T ads. The only problem, the writer says "Ford Motor Co. had been only a modest competitor, producing a small number of Henry Ford's Model R and S vehicles."

FMC was already the largest producer of motor cars in the world. I guess the writer felt the need to add a little drama to an already great story.

And this is what that issue's cover looks like. Snagged one off eBay a long while back, this ad is the T's guy's holy grail :-)
