On This Day - July 23rd 1903

The Ford motor company sells its first ever car. 

Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company, was born on 30 July 1863 in Michigan, USA. In 1896 Ford invented the Quadricycle, the first "horseless carriage" that he produced. Its popularity helped fund and launch Ford's business, and the new Ford Motor Company was established seven years later in Detroit, Michigan, and incorporated on 16 June 1903. A month later, on 23 July 1903, Dr. Ernst Pfenning of Chicago, Illinois became the first owner of a Ford Model A. The Ford Model A was also known as the 'Fordmobile', and featured a twin-cylinder internal combustion engine. It was Ford's first attempt to develop a reliable, inexpensive car for the average American market.
