Cars have also gotten cheaper and better;

Not by much. Sure a modern car is faster, more efficient and more reliable than a Model T, but at the end of the day it still does exactly the same thing in exactly the same way. Also $20k is roughly what you pay for a new entry level Ford today so it's not like prices have come down dramatically.

A today's car that could be compared to the Model T can be bought for less than $1000 in China. There is no demand for these in the USA but it exists.
