Ford's Model B, labeled here as a 1905 car, came from the young Ford Motor Company, which had been founded in Detroit in 1903. The Model B was a four-cylinder automobile priced well above the company's earlier models, aimed at buyers who wanted more power and comfort. This photoprint came from the company's News Bureau, and its caption card records no verified date, so the 1905 label reflects the card's claim rather than a confirmed fact.
