The Ford Model N was an inexpensive automobile produced by the Ford Motor Company. It was introduced in 1906 as a successor to the Models A, C and F as the company's inexpensive entry-level line.

The Model N diverged from its predecessors in that it was a front-engine car with a 4-cylinder engine. The 15 hp straight-4 drove the rear wheels via a long shaft. The car had a wheelbase size of 84 in (2134 mm).

A successful model, 7000 cars were made until production ended in 1908. At $500 the car was viewed as highly affordable at the time. Optional extras included gas headlights and a convertible top.

[edit] Model R

The Model R was an up level trim of the Model N with a larger body and wheels covered by full cycle fenders. An oil lamp was also added, and $150 separated the Model R from the base $600 Model N. The Model R was only produced in 1907, from April through October, and 2500 were sold.

[edit] Model S

The Model S was another adaptation of Model N. It featured a more modern cowl and hood and fenders that flowed into full running boards. Another notable difference was the optional extra third "mother-in-law" seat behind the front bench. The basic model sold for $700. Extras such as a convertible top, gas lamps, as well as umbrella holders were available. 3750 cars were sold between 1907 and 1909.
