Artifact Overview
Here, Henry Ford drives his Quadricycle nearly a decade and a half after its 1896 completion. Ford sold the little gasoline carriage that year and put the earnings toward his second car. When the Ford Motor Company became profitable enough, he bought back the Quadricycle. Henry and his first working automobile were reunited in 1904.
