Quadricycle the First Ford Car


This little machine was based on a simple chassis with a tool box seat, 4 bicycle wheels and tiller steering. Powered by a two cylinder engine of Henry Fords own design,which produced four horsepower and a speed of 20 miles an hour. No brakes or reverse gears were used on this 1st vehicle. As a matter of fact the first time this little car stopped was because it broke down with an ignition problem. Ford was not to give up over a small problem like that and went on to develop many fine automobiles as we well know

Diecast Model Ford

Diecast Model Ford< a new series of articles for the Ford fan. During the next few weeks you will be seeing some new things here. I have been away from Blogging for awhile due to my offline business but I am now back on track and making time for what I truly like to do, helping my readers learn about collecting diecast models. I plan to start with a little history on the various Ford models and the company in general. Chevy fans don't worry, I will be working on those too, I did have a hard time deciding which to start with first( flip a coin still works ). Please stop by often to see whats new, thanks for the visit Roger
