Re: 10, 15, and 20 Millionth Ford
I heard some rumors about Ford's Quadracycle. As the story goes, the Henry Ford sold the original Quadracycle and the one in the museum now is a reproduction. Is there any truth to this rumor about the Quadracycle?
I often wonder how the 20 Millionth Ford got into private hands?

Re: 10, 15, and 20 Millionth Ford
There was a MAFCA article about the 20 millionth. It was originally kept by FORD but then stored away in a warehouse and later sold off. The buyers used it and then stored it away in a garage too. It was FORD historians who connected all the dots and relocated the car for complete restoration.

Re: 10, 15, and 20 Millionth Ford
Henry Ford bought the original quadricycle back at some point in time.
You can read more about the "authorized" recreations of the quadricycle here; https://www.thehenryford.org/explore...orge-deangelis George DeAngelis was a long time Model A'er and was a longtime editor of the MARC Model A News. -Tim

Re: 10, 15, and 20 Millionth Ford
Did some more digging and found this from the Henry Ford;
The Quadricycle was Henry Ford's first attempt to build a gasoline-powered automobile. It utilized commonly available materials: angle iron for the frame, a leather belt and chain drive for the transmission, and a buggy seat. Ford had to devise his own ignition system. He sold his Quadricycle for $200, then used the money to build his second car. The Quadricycle was Henry Ford's first attempt at building a gasoline-powered automobile. It is as simple as Ford could make it and utilizes commonly available materials. The frame is made from angle iron, the transmission is a combination of leather belt and chain drive, the seat is from a buggy. The two-cylinder engine is based on a Kane-Pennington design described in the January 9, 1896, issue of American Machinist magazine. The details of the engine were incomplete and Ford had to devise his own ignition system. Originally the engine was air cooled, but it ran too hot and Ford added water jackets to the cylinders. Ford sold the Quadricycle in late 1896 for $200, which he spent on building his second car. In 1904, with Ford Motor Company becoming successful, he bought the little vehicle back for $65. Engine: Kane-Pennington-Ford, inline 2-cylinder, atmospheric intake valves, overhead exhaust valves, 59 cu. in., 4 hp (est.) https://www.thehenryford.org/collect...rtifact/252049 There's also a photograph of Henry in 1910 driving his Quadricycle in NYC while defending himself from the Selden Patent suit.
