Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Good paint and upholstery. Restoration has been carefully maintained but shows its age. Runs very well. One of the three cars for which orders with deposits were received on July 13, 1903, just as James Couzens checkbook was running dry, from Herbert L. Mcry, a butter maker in Britt, Iowa. They were the first orders for Ford Motor Company automobiles and this is the only survivor of the three. It has only five owners from new. Emblematic of a turning point in the automobiles history. Important How about semil John OQuinn Collection.

Market commentary

Sold by RM in Arizo in 2007 for $693,000 and one of the most important automobiles in history. The bid here is irrelevant to this cars history, significance and value. $693,000 makes a lot more sense.
