Which Ford model was nicknamed the “Tin Lizzie”?

The Ford Model T was nicknamed “Tin Lizzie.”

“Tin Lizzie” was one of several popular nicknames used for the Model T in the United States. The expression referred to the car’s simple construction, widespread use, and reputation for dependable service on roads that were often rough or poorly surfaced.

Ford officially called the automobile the Model T, following the company’s letter-based naming sequence. It was introduced in 1908 and became one of the most influential cars in automotive history.

The nickname should not be confused with Ford’s later Model A, which replaced the Model T in 1927. Nor does “Tin Lizzie” describe a separate model or trim level; it was an informal name for the Model T itself.
