SOLVED: si_286 - Ford - Quadricycle - 1896
« on: July 30, 2022, 04:07:14 PM »
It has been several years since the first example of this vehicle was built. When was it, what was its name and who was its manufacturer.
One point for correct answers.

Yes it is a Ford Quadricycle built from 1896 to 1901. This was the first motor vehicle built by Henry Ford. Three copies were built in different versions.
This is your next point.
