Auto History Fact of the Day
On June 23, 1903, the Ford Motor Company was officially incorporated in Detroit, Michigan. Henry Ford and 11 investors started the company with just $28,000 in cash. Within five years, Ford would revolutionize transportation and eventually put the world on wheels with the Model T.
Come see our Ford Model T, proudly displayed on the museum floor. This historic vehicle was donated by Millie R. Garrison in memory of her son, Dr. Jim Garrison.
From the first Model A to the legendary Model T, Ford helped transform personal transportation forever.
