Our pride, the restored Ford T-Model, has once again been brought out from the Bánki Faculty’s Council Room after many years to make an appearance at the XXVII. Engineers’ Ball on February 28 at the Corinthia Hotel.
The Ford T-Model was the world’s first mass-produced car. The first unit rolled off the assembly line in 1908, and over the next nearly 20 years, more than 15 million followed. József Galamb, Ford’s chief designer, played a key role in its development. He completed his higher technical studies at the predecessor institution of our Faculty. In tribute to his legacy, our institution’s teachers and students carried out the professional restoration of this 1922 model in the very building where József Galamb once studied.
