Artifact Overview

When Ford introduced its $500 Model N in 1906, the car was an immediate hit. Even after a price increase to $600 it was the cheapest four-cylinder car on the market. In 1907 Ford added the Model R, a Model N with running boards, larger wheels, and a wider body. At $750, it sold well also.
