1907 Ford Model R Runabout
01
Artifact Overview
When Ford's Model N became the bestselling car in the United States, the company suspected there was a market for a more luxurious version. The Model R had a larger body, higher seats, a rounded rear deck, and wider fenders. Ford's hunch was correct. The Model R was a swift seller -- even at $150 above the 1907 Model N's $600 price.
