Yet that was precisely the case when the first Model Ts went on sale 100 years ago this fall.
They were priced at $850. Customers had a choice of red, dark green or gray. Shelter from the elements -- a top -- cost $60 extra.
Production of the Model T began Oct. 1, 1908, in a three-story plant along Detroit's Piquette Avenue. It was the first car to be mass produced, a process that would put America on wheels and forever change the way we live.
