earlier cars were available in green, red, blue and grey. In fact, in the first year, Model T Fords were not available in black at all. The switch to all black cars was likely due to Ford's optimization of the assembly line and to reduce the time lost waiting for the various paints to dry. In 1926 colors other than black were once again offered, in an attempt to boost sales.

Actually early brass era Model T cars were quite elegant I would have thought Henry would choose dark blue or red to show off the brass gas lights and wooden magneto/spark box. And wooden spoke rims with hand pinstriping. Tufted leather seat and brass throttle and spark controls at the brass center steering wheel with wood rim. Tin Lizzy it was not.
