I'm confused. People say that the 15,000,000th Ford was the final Model T ever made. BUT! I do remember several times in the past being told that more were made than 15,000,000. I got a variety of numbers from 15,500,000 all the way up to 17,000,000?! I haven't had this explained to me yet in 6 years, anyone care to enlighten me?

Click on Home, left top corner, then open Research and then the Encyclopedia, Serial Numbers will answer your question.

For 1927 Ts the enclyclopedia says "Black wire wheels became standard on the closed cars late in the year but were optional until that time." My question: Before the wire wheels became standard, were the optional wire wheels black or could they have ordered a color and if so, what wheel colors were vailable?

15,007,033 at end of primary production in may 1927

They built several thousand more engines until 1941.

It’s all in the Encyclopedia section of this site

My understanding is the often quoted '15 million' is the U.S. production only. What was the Canadian production?

Canadian production of Model T : 757,030

Great ref. data from Hap Tucker in this 2003 post "Actual Numbers Built".

Thanks, Dan. So it does seem Model T production is actually closer to 16 million, which is what I have always thought.
