On 4 June 1896, Henry Ford took his first automobile, the Quadricycle, for a test drive through the streets of Detroit.
This groundbreaking vehicle, which was essentially a light metal frame mounted on four bicycle wheels and powered by a two-cylinder, four-horsepower engine, marked a significant moment in automotive history.
Ford's successful trial run demonstrated the viability of his innovative approach to motorized transportation, setting the stage for the eventual establishment of the Ford Motor Company and the mass production of automobiles, which would revolutionize personal and commercial transportation worldwide.
