Born on July 30, 1863, in Dearborn, Michigan, Henry Ford would go on to revolutionize the automotive industry and change the course of modern transportation. Growing up on a farm, Ford showed an early aptitude for tinkering with machinery, displaying a natural curiosity and mechanical ingenuity that would define his future endeavors.
In 1896, at the age of 33, Ford unveiled his first self-propelled vehicle, the Quadricycle, a rudimentary automobile powered by a gasoline engine. This marked the beginning of Ford's journey into the automotive world and set the stage for his groundbreaking innovations to come.

In 1908, this vision became a reality with the introduction of the Model T, a vehicle that would become synonymous with the Ford brand and revolutionize the automotive industry.
