MODEL
Ford's Model N automobile mad great strides toward Henry Ford's dream of producing an affordable, mass-produced vehicle. The lightweight Model N contained a 4-cylinder engine and was capable of being driven 45 miles per hour. It contained stylish fixtures, including the nickel-plated front lamps and an 84-inch wheelbase.
At the time of production, the 1906 4-cylinder Ford Model N sold for only $500, which was less than one-cylinder automobiles sold by Cadillac, Reo, Rambler and Oldsmobile. Ford's reputation for safety and reliability, in addition to the features of the Model N, made this car the predecessor to the later, and much more famous, Model T.
Specifications: 15 horsepower; acquired by Museum in 1977; donated by William T. Dooley, Jr.
