1906 Ford Model F
Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company Dearborn – Michigan
Model: Model F
Base Price: $1,100
Engine: Two-cylinder, 10 hp
In 1906, Henry Ford became president of the Ford Motor Company and Ford’s market share had risen to over one-fourth of all the cars built to 26.3%. The Model F was built as a two-door, five passenger touring car. This would be the final year for the two-cylinder engine. A strong demand for the F, an overabundance of cars, and an old design, kept it as the only holdover from 1905. The engine was mounted under the seat and the gas tank was under the hood. Several types of tops were offered. First time standard equipment included cowl-mounted oil lamps and a horn on the steering post.

Model F
Model F is the general all around car for the man who wants a powerful runabout or a comfortable and fast touring car for five people at a moderate investment and low cost of operating and maintaining, capable of taking all kinds of roads.

NOTE: The Model F was a further-improved Model C. It used larger fenders and had a running board. The engine had slightly larger cylinder bore with a shorter stroke than the Model C. Tire size was increased to 30 by 3-1/2. The radiator was enlarged to now hold four gallons instead of three.
Introduced in 1905, it soldiered on until about June of 1906 when it was replaced with the much better Model N.
