In automobile terms it is a name attached to the Ford Model T (colloquially known as the Tin Lizzie and Flivver). It was an automobile produced by Ford Motor Company from 1908 through 1927. The Model T set 1908 as the historic year that the automobile came into popular usage. It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, the car that "put America on wheels".

Did Lizzie Bordens parents abuse her?

I sincerely doubt it. The entire family was under extreme scrutiny and there was never even a hint of any kind of abuse in the Borden house. That doesn't mean everything was perfect. There obviously were problems. The biggest problem went by the name of Abby, the stepmother. Lizzie did not get alone with Abby and refused to call her 'mother', even though she married Mr. Borden when Lizzie was quite small. But I think in Lizzie's mind she was abused, for the fact that her father was a miser and penny-pincher who refused to live on a grand scale even though he was one of the richest men in Fall River, MA. Lizzie always had grand ideas, a big house in a better neighborhood, entertaining, ect. Right before the murders Andrew was planning to make a new will. The Borden sisters had the idea most of their inheritance would go to Abby and her family. When these factors came together it probaby pushed Lizzie over the edge. The tension and hard feelings simmered for years, combined with her stingy father's reluctance to spend a dime and the making of a new will, and to Lizzie it may have seemed the end of the world. And it was, for Andrew and Abby Borden.
