Henry Ford, machinist and one-time farmer, had experi- mented with gasoline engines for a number of years before ultimately constructing in his little workshop on Bagley Avenue in Detroit a 4-wheeled, tiller-steered vehicle (fig. 21) powered with his own 2-cylinder, 4-cycle, horizontal, gasoline engine. This car, with Charles B. King as a pas- senger, had its first test run on the streets of Detroit on June 4, 1896. It is now on exhibition in the Henry Ford Museum. Several successful racing cars were later built by Ford, and in 1903 the first model-A Ford automobile, a 2-cylinder machine, was offered to the public by the then newly formed Ford Motor Co. 28.
