1904 Ford

1904 was a very busy year for the small and still relatively insignificat Ford Motor Company. Under the aggressive leadership of its general manager, Henry Ford, the company started a subsidiary assembly plant in Canda, broke the world's land speed record with a measured run of 91.37 miles per hour (a record lasting only 15 days), and introduced three new models - the AC, B, and C.

The Model C Ford had a hooded front and was the most modern-looking of the three Ford models. The cars were actually built under contract by the Dodge Brothers. The Model C had a 2-cylinder opposed engine mounted under the driver's seat and was capable of up to 38 miles per hour top speed. The Model C sold for $850, less than half the price of the Model B, and optional equipment included a folding top, kerosene cowl lamps, gas headlights, and horn.
