1904 Ford Model C Tonneau

Summary

While it looked different, Ford's Model C was based on its earlier Model A. The main difference on the C was its European-style front hood -- though its two-cylinder engine was still under the front seat as with the A. This example was further distinguished by an unusual rear tonneau with side doors instead of a single door in back.
