1906 Ford Model N
Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company Dearborn – Michigan
Model: Model N
Base Price: $500
Engine: Four-cylinder, 15 hp
The Model N was a positive step on Ford’s path toward the development of a reliable, mass-production car. The N featured a front-mounted engine that could propel the car to a top speed of 45 miles per hour. Styling was improved by the addition of nickel-plated front lamps and a boat-tail rear deck.
Museum Collection: Larry Porter Trust – “Alphabet Ford Collection”

About the first auto in Petersburg, WV:
In 1907 the first automobile, a Ford, came to Grant County.
Shown here is reportedly that first automobile in Petersburg owned and operated by R. W. Baker.
The passenger in the car is Sanford Bumphrey, a blind piano tuner.
The auto is gliding across the old Pond Bridge and to the left can be seen a horse tied to the hitching post beside
the old Grant County Bank which was located where Denault's Jewelry was at the corner of Water Street and
Main Street.
The building above was the residence of the late Mrs. Ellen Thalaker, where the present old Grant County
Bank is located.
The picture was taken in about 1910 courtesy of K. R. Shobe and Ed VanMeter of Petersburg, WV.
