Which was the first mass-produced car? The first car to be produced in large quantities was the Ford Model T. First built in 1908, it remained in production until 1927, by which time more than 15 million had been built. The car was relatively cheap, and introduced motoring to families throughout the United States and parts of Europe. A modern car plant uses robots instead of people to assemble cars.   Previous: Back Book: 1001 Section: Science and Technology Chapter: Cars and Trucks
