Model T design contest

By Bob Holland | October 22, 2008

The Model T Ford debuted in 1908, making it exactly one hundred years old. What better way to celebrate and honor this oh-so-important vehicle, than to have a design contest aimed to create the Model T for the next century.

Can it be done? Is it possible to create another vehicle that will have the same profound impact over the next 100 years as did the original Model T for the past century? Wow, talk about a challenge!

Full story here.

To have that kind of impact it would have to completely change the standard for making cars.

The only thing I can think of would be if someone made a cheap, useful (in range and performance) electric car.

The car market is fairly mature, so IMHO, no, no car can have that sort of impact on the market. Not even close.

They better come up with something or they won't be around long. Does anybody remember the excitment when the Mustang came out in 64? It was amazing, they need another home run and soon.
