Henry Ford and Edsel Ford in a Ford Model F, Detroit, Michigan, 1905

Summary

Henry Ford and his 11-1/2-year-old son Edsel pose outside their rented home at 332 Hendrie Avenue in Detroit. The car is a Ford Model F. The car's hood is deceiving because there is no engine under it. The engine is actually under the seat of the car like Ford's earlier Model A and Model C horseless carriages.
