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.

The Ford Model T revolutionized automotive transport. Victor Pagé was a mechanic and Model T owner; dating to 1915, this historic handbook was designed to help fellow owners maintain and repair their cars. A simple statement begins this book: only one car in 1915 merits its own book of repair - and this is the Model T. The Ford Company's car was mass produced on an assembly line, beginning in 1908. Reliable and distinctive in appearance, by the time this book saw publication some 600,000 of these vehicles had already made it onto roads. Sold mainly to the educated middle-classes of the United States and Europe, it is with the owner demographic in mind that Victor Pagé wrote and published this guidebook. Some 94 charts, drawings and photographs are included, some standalone, some showing step-by-step processes. Victor Pagé is a detailed and intricate writer, but accommodating to eager owners who haven't benefited from a background in mechanical repair or engineering. Much of the Model T's success was down to its construction; it was built entirely of parts that could be individually removed and replaced with the right knowhow. This book contains ample guidance on the disassembly and assembly of various components, that the car can be kept running better for longer.

Excerpt from The Model T Ford Car, Its Construction, Operation and Repair There is only one make of motor vehicle in the world that is sold in large enough quantities to warrant the publication of a special treatise on its repair and maintenance and that is the Ford Model T. With the close of the 1916 season's business there will be at least 1,000,000 Ford cars of all types in use, perhaps more. Most of these cars have been sold to and are being operated by persons with but little mechanical knowledge and with no experience with the gas engine as an automobile power plant. The maker's instruction book is excellent but it is necessarily brief as there is no opportunity for an extended exposition of principles involved. Many operators desire to know the first principles before studying the operation and repair. While considerable instruction is given in the writer's large work on motoring, "The Modern Gasoline Automobile," it is not possible to cover any specific make of car completely in a general treatise. Many requests have been received from motorists for a book on the Ford car that would enter into elementary exposition more than the manufacturer's instruction book does and cover some of the points involved in repair and maintenance more completely. The writer has operated a Ford car of his own for nearly four years and has had many other cars of the same make under observation.
