Advertisement for the 1924 Ford Model T, "Cancel Distance & Conquer Weather"

Summary

Ford Motor Company regularly advertised the dependability of the Model T along with the car's ability to handle any terrain; two characteristics that many consumers believed separated Ford cars from all the rest. In this advertisement, Ford declared that Model T demand was "wide and ever-growing," but in actuality production peaked in 1923 and declined every year thereafter.
