Ford Model T

via

The Model T was the first mass-produced vehicle in the U.S. It was also the first vehicle most people could afford, but there’s a reason it stopped being produced in 1927. The romance surrounding this vehicle overshadows it’s terrible performance on the road. There was no windshield and the engine wasn’t very good. The brakes also didn’t work very well, which made this an extremely dangerous car. When you compare it to all the other cars that rolled out of factories in later decades, it’s a pretty terrible car.
