Interior of Detroit Automobile Company, circa 1900
01
Artifact Overview
The Detroit Automobile Company was Henry Ford's first attempt to manufacture motor vehicles. Despite a glowing review in the Detroit News-Tribune, the company's first product, a delivery truck, was an apparent failure. The Detroit Automobile Company closed in 1901. It took two more companies and three more years before Henry Ford became a successful automobile manufacturer.
