Early Ford
models from the years 1903 - 1908
The car that started mass motorization was the American Ford Model T. This
car was so tremendously successful that many people tend to forget that the Ford Motor
Company of Detroit USA had a history before the Model T. Starting from 1903 with the Model
A (shown above) founder Henry Ford and his team went through 19 letters of the alphabet
before the Model T was introduced in 1908. Some of these cars were experimental or special
models that never went into production. Ultimately 8 models reached production status
before the Model T: the models A, B, C, F, K, N, R and S.
When Henry Ford started the company that was to become world's second largest car
manufacturer he promised to "build a motor car for the great multitude which will be
so low in price that no man will be unable to own one". In this tour RitzSite will
show you around the cars Ford put on the road before the fulfillment of his promise.
