"Ford Manual for Owners and Operators of Ford Cars," 1914
01
Artifact Overview
As cars became affordable and more people began using them, owners needed to know how to operate them properly. This 1914 manual helped the layperson -- without a mechanical or technical automotive background -- understand and drive the Ford Model T. Ford touted the T's simplicity, but its manual still provided over 140 answers to possible questions owners might have.
