AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Up for offer is the undisputed forefather of the global automobile industry: the 1896 Henry Ford Quadricycle in a monumental 1:6 scale. Masterfully and precisely crafted to museum quality by Franklin Mint Precision Models.
The “Quadricycle” was the very first roadworthy automobile Henry Ford built by hand in his workshop. This rare collector’s piece stands out for its use of authentic materials, including metal, copper, wood, leather straps, and finely textured fabric and faux leather on the seat.
Highlights & Condition:
• Fascinating engineering: Functional chain drive to the rear axle, delicate wire-spoke wheels with white tires, a movable tiller and belt-tensioning lever, and a detailed replica of the exposed 2-cylinder gas engine.
• Model condition: The model is in excellent, flawless, and unplayed-with condition. It is completely dust-free, the delicate spokes are perfectly straight, and the original collector’s hang tag is still attached directly to the vehicle.
• Packaging (original box): Supplied in the original, form-fitting Styrofoam insert, including the accompanying information card (“The 1896 Ford Quadricycle”) and instructions. The Styrofoam provides optimal protection for this highly delicate work of art during transport. The outer box is also original Franklin Mint.
The original packaging will be shipped for protection in a suitably sized box.
An absolute highlight for historians, automotive enthusiasts, and collectors of rare milestones in an impressive large scale.
