Fact About the Day:
On July 15, 1903, Ford Motor Company took their very first order. Ernst Pfenning, a dentist from Chicago, ordered an $850 two-cylinder Model A automobile with a backseat. The car was produced at Ford's plant in Detroit and was delivered to the Dr. a little more than a week later. This order, the first of many from around the country, launched Ford into profitability. The company sold 215 Fords within two months and produced 1,000 by the end of its first year. Though the company grew quickly, it was the Model T, launched in 1908, that put Ford at the top of the automobile industry. The Model T was produced until 1927 when sales started slowing, the same year Ford released the second Model A.
