The 1917 to 1923 cars have the tapered, curved top hood that collectors call the low hood, with its hinges at the joint between the flat sides and the curved top, so no part of the flat firewall shows outside the hood. This style stayed in production longest and covered the years of highest output, roughly half of every Model T ever built. Ford bought no advertising at all between 1917 and 1923 because the car sold itself, and electric starting was added in 1919. Each model year has its own page.
