Henry Ford's Quadricycle

The Henry Ford in Dearborn, Michigan will display and demonstrate an operating replica of Henry Ford's first automobile, the Quadricycle. Henry Ford was a tinkerer at heart and built his original car in the shed behind his house in Detroit in 1896. This early success would eventually lead to the founding of the Ford Motor Company, and the Model T, the car that put America on wheels.
