Henry Ford (in the great coat and bowler hat) stands with the 1909 transcontinental race team. All forward speeds for the 1,200-pound car were controlled by a foot pedal. Reverse, however, was controlled by a hand lever.

One of the great attractions of the Model T was its relatively easy maintenance. "The Model T was so simple, you could crank it up yourself, fix it yourself, so it was the simplicity of the product that made it so popular in the end," historian Douglas Brinkley said in a story about the car on NPR in July.
