Artifact Overview
In 1907, Henry Ford and Ford Motor Company enjoyed continued success with the four-cylinder Model N, which sold 8,423 units in the 1906-1907 sales period. The N's comparatively large production and sales volumes allowed Ford to price it at a low $600. Throughout 1907, a small team worked in secrecy on the Model N's eventual replacement: the Model T.

This was a pivotal time in Henry Ford's life. Ford, in his early 40s, urged his Ford Motor Company partners to support production of a "light, low-priced car," believing higher sales would increase profits. The introduction of the Model N in 1906 proved him right. It was more affordable than previous models and quickly became America's bestselling car.
