The Ford Model T was one among the very first cars ever made by Henry Ford back in 1909. It vanished in the US car market by the year 1927. The car was first made on September 27, 1908 at the Piquette Plant in Detroit, Michigan. Ford gave it the first ever Ford car parts excluding of course the Carburetor Canada which was not yet available during those times. Although it was considered as the pioneer of Ford cars, it is still considered to be one among the 50 top worst cars of all time.

But why do they consider it a worst car? According to the Time magazine, “Let's stipulate that the Model T did everything that the history books say: It put America on wheels, supercharged the nation's economy and transformed the landscape in ways unimagined when the first Tin Lizzy rolled out of the factory.”

The model T was made by the engineer William C. Klann. And the vehicle was designed to use the most harmful engine part according to the news. The panels are made up of blacksmith including the crude instruments. The magazine even regarded it as “a piece of junk, the Yugo of its day.”
