People that believe all Model T's were black need to look at this car!

Black is a color �� I know what you were thinking colors other than black��

The Model T was available is colors up until 1914, when they switched to all black. This was because black dried faster and Ford started with mass production.
Colors were again available in 1926 and '27.

The black was made from a mineral that was mined in Colorado. It was cheap, dried fast and held up well.
In 1926 the open cars were still black but the closed cars were other colors unless you ordered them in black to match the black cars your company already had in a fleet.
I am quite sure my ‘26 touring came in black.
Late in ‘25 there was a great improvement in the quality of paint, mainly it dried faster.
That was when Ford started using other colors again. People were sick of black and often bought other makes just for the nice colors.
