Artifact Overview
Ford Motor Company's Model B was a significant technological advancement over its predecessor, the 1903 Model A. The B's longitudinal engine sat up front, and power reached the rear wheels via a driveshaft rather than a chain. The Model B also had a considerably higher price tag -- $2,000 versus $850 for the Model A.
