On May 26, 1927, the final Model T Ford rolled out of the factory. After 15 million cars, Ford stopped production. The Model T was being outsold by newer, cheaper competitors, and Ford wanted to close and retool the factories. Nonetheless, the Model T had a huge impact on the country. Because of its popularity, the government made construction of new roads one of its top priorities by 1920. And America became a car-oriented society because of the Model T.
