And what color would you like your Model T? We suggest black, black or if you would prefer... Black.

Actually, the “You can have your Model T in any color as long as it is black.” is a MYTH. - From the 1st year of production a customer could “special order” a T in ANY color, “for divers commercial uses”.
(A lady/milliner in my home county ordered a PINK Model T coupe in 1917 & drove it until her death during WWII.)

The REA in my home county owned/operated a RED (with black fenders & taupe trim) Model T “depot hack” for decades.
(After the T was “retired from regular service”, it was taken out & driven for years for various “advertising reasons”, like Christmas parades.)

Ford is reported to have said,”You can have a Ford in any color you want as long as it’s black.”

The ultra-modern Tesla still has a variation on that. You can have any color other than white as long as you are willing to pay more for it.
