1904 Ford Model C Tonneau
Add to SetSummary
Ford created its new Model C based on the earlier Model A platform. The cars look quite different due to the C's European-style hood. The two-cylinder engine is still under the front seat as with the A, but the fuel tank and radiator are under the hood. Ford built some 800 Model C cars over the 1904-1905 model years.
