On 24 December 1893, Henry Ford etched his name in the annals of history by completing his first petrol-fuelled engine, a modest yet revolutionary creation that marked the genesis of his journey toward transforming global transportation.
Built in the modest confines of his kitchen, this single-cylinder engine, later dubbed the "kitchen sink engine," was a testament to Ford’s ingenuity and determination.
Its successful operation heralded a new era in automotive engineering, paving the way for the eventual creation of the iconic Ford Motor Company and the mass production of automobiles that would reshape the modern world.
