Roadster
Chassis number: 107

In Henry Ford's quest for continual development, this was the offering that would almost bankrupt him. The introduction of the 1906, 40-horsepower, 6-cylinder was an attempt to enter the luxury car market at a lower price than anyone else could offer. The 6-cylinder Model 'K' was the result of Ford's racing endeavors turned consumer product. Only 350 cars were made in the first year of its production. A roadster was an attempt to offer a sporty model at $2,800 and only 50 were produced. Similar makes were offered at prices up to $7,000.

This particular car, serial #107, is the prototype Roadster offered prior to general production. This car is completely original and operational with every factory option available at the time. The 405 CID, 40-horsepower engine is coupled to a 2-speed planetary transmission, and the car is capable of 60+ mph. Additional options include Dorian demountable wheels, Aermore exhaust whistles, speedometer, clock, full windshield, top and optional trunk.
