How cool would it be to have the oldest Ford?
Too bad I don't have a "spare" half-mil burning a hole in my pocket.
(Bob Kiefauber sent me the link.)
I think earlier built / earlier serial number Ford cars exist. This one might be best described as the first Ford sold to someone outside the company that exists.
One would need to be very careful and do lots of homework before buying a 1903 Ford. Especially one reported to be the earliest!
