Ford Motor Company Employees with Ford Model A Racer, Summer, 1904

Summary

Mechanics pose with one of Ford Motor Company's early race cars in 1904. The low-slung vehicle was powered by a pair of two-cylinder Ford Model A engines mated together -- essentially, a flat-four engine. Driver Frank Kulick built an impressive record with the 20-horsepower car in races throughout the Midwest and Northeast.
