The Model T Ford was the first mass produced car and the price because
of this was so low that for the first time motorcars were in the hands
of people who had little or no engineering skills. This is a guide
written in 1916 aiming at explaining the mechanics of a motor car to a
lay audience. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back
to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high
quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
