The high hood style that gave the car its biggest change in appearance came in for 1926, and steel welded spoke wheels were offered from this year, in place of the standard wooden artillery wheels. The final style was a preview of the Model A that would follow, although the new car was much wider and had curved doors, whereas the Model T still had flat ones. Sales were slipping as rivals offered more comfort and styling at similar prices.

Body style, roadster: Price and production, Runabout
In 1909, the cost of the Runabout started at $825 (equivalent to $29,560 in 2025).
Body, 1926 to 1927 style
This design change made the greatest difference in the appearance of the car.
Body, preview of Model A
The styling on the last "generation" was a preview for the following Model A, but the two models are visually quite different, as the body on the A is much wider and has curved doors as opposed to the flat doors on the T.
Production, falling share
As other companies offered comfort and styling advantages, at competitive prices, the Model T lost market share and became barely profitable.
