By 1927, during the last years of the production of the Model T, the factory could produce a completely assembled car in 24 seconds. The Model T cost around $850 in 1908, but because of production efficiencies, the price was lowered to $260 in 1925.

By the way - all but 3000 of the 15 million Model Ts were built at Ford's Highland Park plant, the ruins of which are still standing on Woodward Avenue in Detroit. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/...ark-ford-plant



The Model T was conceived at the first 3000 were stall built at the Piquette Avenue plant. The Piquette plant is also still standing and functions as a meeting venue and hosts a Ford historical society. https://www.hagerty.com/media/news/f...s-an-antidote/
