Henry
Ford's first production car was aptly name the quadricycle. Quad
means four. This is a one of the only surviving models in America.
Notice the steering, the wheels, the lack of shocks and an enclosure.
This
is Henry Ford with one of his early models. Not a lot of passanger
space is there?
This
is one of Henry Fords famous model 'T's. It is quite a step up from
his quadricycle. This is the automobile that put the average American
on the road. Notice the color. Henry Ford had a famous quote..."People
can have any color that they want...as long as it is black. This
is the only color that the model 'T' came in.
The
20,000,000 Ford Automobile. At one time in America's history 3 out
of every 4 automobiles on the roads were made by Ford Motor Company.
We just learned that Ford Motor Company put out its 300,000,000 car on
11/17/03. It was a cherry red Mustang GT convertible. A long
way from Henry Ford's first quadricycle.
