Thats a great point. All the Model Ts still rolling have incredible longevity but millions of them have been gone for many decades.

My initial reaction was that 'millions' must be an exaggeration here. Surely, I thought, there were far fewer than a million cars sold that early. But I would have been wrong: "From 1908 to 1927 Ford produced more than 15 million Model T automobiles." http://www.modelt.ca/faq.html#2

Thanks for the good example!

i spent some time looking at the local newspaper archives, it is astounding in 1900~1910, all photos go from being devoid of cars to being exclusively cars
