1941-1942 Ford (pictured a 1941 Ford Super Deluxe Convertible) The last of Henry's Fords. A much modern looking cars with a wider body covering the running boards. The 1941 cars had such novelties as electric wipers (instead of hydraulic) three heaters (but still no A/C) and pushbutton starter. In early 1942 all civilian car production was halted, Henry wouldn't to see it resume in 1946.

1906 Ford Model K The Model B replacement. The luxurious 6 cylinders Model K has the dubious distinction of being the Ford Motor Company's first flop ever, which wasn't especially disappointing to Henry since the K represented all he hated and was built to appease the investor who wanted to build luxurious and profitable cars.

1906 Ford Model N (R & S) While the Model K was a flop, the other new Ford for 1906 was an smashing success. With 7000 units sold the Model N (and its variants R and S) solidified Ford's position as a "major" automaker and signaled the path that both company and founder would follow; an inexpensive and reliable motor vehicle for the masses.

1935-36 Ford Model 48 By 1935 all Ford vehicles were equipped with the Flathead V8. Notice how a more modern car is taking shape in this Briggs supplied close body sedan. Edsel Ford great taste and trained eye is apparent in the 1935 Ford.

1905 Ford Model F Replacement of the entry level Model C. It was considered to offer a lot of bang for your buck, especially when compared with much pricier competitors. Henry loved that combination and made it the goal of all his future efforts.

1908-1927 Ford Model T (1911 full line shown) The Ford Model T is the car that did put American on wheels, the car which success made necessary the invention of the moving assembly line, the car that the first public roads were paved for and the car that ignited the imagination not only of a young and vibrant country but of the entire world.

1901 Ford 999. (photographed in 1953 with William Clay Ford at the wheel(?), father of the current Executive Chairman William C. Ford Jr.) This is the very first Ford race car, used mostly to promote Henry's engineering genius and to raise funds to pay for Henry's automotive ventures. Henry himself raced and won a famous race against Alexander Winton in 1901. Having hated the experience Henry vowed to never again race a car in his life.

1904 Ford Model B. The first luxury Ford, featuring polished wood and brass trim, two lux items we don't here too much about them these days. At a whooping $2000, the equivalent to $51000 today, the 500 Model B sold Model B did wonders to keep on feeding Ford's coffers the much needed cash to fund Henry's upcoming master piece.

1937-1940 Ford (1940 "woody" station wagon in the picture) Now simply known as the Ford. The redesigned 1937-1940 model is considered among the best American designs of all time. Very reminiscent of the streamlined Lincoln Zephyr. 1937 saw the addition of a second and smaller version of the flathead V8.

1932-1934 Ford V8 (a.k.a. Model B, Model 18 and Model 40) It was not only a complete new line of cars, truck, and (train) station wagons but also signified the introduction of the first affordable high powered V8 engine. Legend has it that Henry locked a group of engineers in a barn and didn't let them out until they came out with the blue prints and a working prototype of a mass produceable low cost V8. The Flathead V8 as it is known to our days served the company for many decades, until 1953.
