1907 Ford Model K Touring Car
01
Artifact Overview
Introduced in 1906, the Model K moved Ford Motor Company into the high-price market -- something Henry Ford didn't like. The six-cylinder, $2,500 Model K cost five times as much as Ford's four-cylinder Model N. Production of the Model K ended in 1908 with the introduction of the Model T. Affordable cars for the mass market were Ford's future.
