Yup. Model T Day for those of us into celebrating obscure dates.
Please correct me if this is mis-information. I believe October 1 is the date Ford Motor Company announced to the public the Model T as their newest (and subsequently only) offering. Also, I think I have read that at least one unit was "pre-sold" prior to the publicized announcement.
October is dear to me as "Model T month". My current Lizzie was delivered on Halloween, 2016. Great fun and new friends for seven years now !
