Watch: Learning to drive the Model T

This car changed, forever, the way America looks. All those other things we associate with cars -- billboards, motels, gas stations, cheesy roadside attractions -- started because just about everybody was buying one of these. The Model T was so successful that, for a long time, nobody even tried competing against this cheap, sturdy car that just kept getting cheaper and more popular.
