The Ford Model T was first introduced in 1908, and it did not take long for human ingenuity to turn the Model T into something a little more exciting. Although Ford did not market a true speedster in the Model T years, the Speedster style became very popular, giving owners a less expensive option to the very popular Stutz Bearcat and the Mercer Raceabout. These Model T speedsters were substantially faster than a stock car, the reason being they were lighter.
