About this car

This is a replica of the Quadricycle, the first vehicle Henry Ford built in 1896 in a workshop behind his Detroit home. The original is kept at The Henry Ford museum in Dearborn, Michigan. The dealer says this copy is exact and starts, runs and drives in the same way as the original.

The Quadricycle layout is rudimentary: a simple frame, tiller steering, chain drive and four bicycle-type wire wheels. The original's two-cylinder engine made about 4 horsepower and drove through two gears, with no reverse.

The dealer offers it as a museum-style piece and notes that it also has a Benz Patent Motorwagen. Chassis number and registration are listed as to be advised, and no mileage or ownership history is given.
