For the first time in Automotive History used cars are now reconized as competetion for new cars. Ford sales continue to slide, sale drop to 1.4 million Model T's that down 17 percent from last year. Market share is also still slipping, down to 36 percent. Electric starters are now standard on all Model T's. The Model T is available in any color as long as its Black, Brown or Blue. For the first time since 1911 the touring car has a functional drivers door. Nickel plated radiators are standard equipment on all sedans and optional on all other models. Though the Model A is still two years away Ford vehemently denies the replacement of the Model T. Also this year the bodies on Model T's sat 1.5 inchs lower.
