Artifact Overview
This is Ford's Flivver #1, a quick, highly maneuverable plane that created a media buzz when it was demonstrated at the 1926 Ford Reliability Tour. The press called the single-seat plane the "Model T of the air," but it was purely experimental. Ford would never mass produce the Flivver.
