Artifact Overview

This early Ford dealership was part show-room, part repair shop. Next to a display Model T, two repairmen work on an earlier Model N. Ford's Model T replaced the Model N when it was released in 1908, but there were still thousands of Americans driving earlier models. Dealers held on to some customers by offering repair services.
