Replica of Henry Ford's 1896 Quadricycle

Artifact Overview
Henry Ford continued to refine his Quadricycle in the months after June 1896, when the little car made its first trial run. By October of that year, Ford added a wood box around the car's two-cylinder gasoline engine. George DeAngelis built this reproduction of the Quadricycle in 1991. It replicates the car in its October 1896 configuration.
