1903 Ford Model A Roadster in Henry Ford Museum, circa 1934
Add to SetSummary
A 1934 exhibition at Henry Ford's museum in Dearborn, Michigan, featured this Model A roadster, the first automobile produced and sold by the fledgling Ford Motor Company. In many ways, the original Ford was typical -- it looked like a carriage without the horse. But unlike other early autos, the 1903 Model A had a steering wheel rather than a tiller.
