An international jury of automotive journalists and experts elected the
Ford Model T as the winner of the coveted Car Of The Century
award. The Ford Model T was selected for the significant innovation
it represented in its day, as well as its design, and its impact on the
auto industry, and indeed, society itself.
"The COTC award represents the hard work of many people from all
over the world. We salute the Ford Model T for winning this award,"
said Fred van der Vlugt, the chairman of the board of the Global
Automotive Elections Foundation.
The jury of 126 automotive experts represent 32 countries. The
general public was also invited to join in on the voting via the Internet.
Their votes were integrated with those of the experts.

Henry Ford dies and goes to heaven. At the gates, an angel tells Ford,
"Well, you've been such a good guy and your invention, the assembly line
for the automobile, changed the world. As a reward, you can hang out with
anyone you want to in Heaven."
Ford thinks about it and says, "I want to hang out with God, himself."
The befeathered fellow at the gate takes Ford to the Throne Room and
introduces him to God. Ford then asks God, "Hey, aren't you the inventor
of Woman?"
God says, "Well, yes." "Well," says Ford, You have some major design flaws
in your invention:
l. There's too much front end protrusion.
2. It chatters at high speeds.
3. The rear end wobbles too much.
4. The intake is placed to close to the exhaust.
"Hmmm.." replies God, "hold on." God goes to the Celestial Supercomputer,
types in a few keystrokes, and waits for the result. The computer prints
out a slip of paper and God reads it. "It may be that my invention is
flawed," God replies to Henry Ford, "but according to my Computer, more
men are riding my invention than yours."
