This is the first public comment/article I've seen regarding the upcoming Model N. The new model is reported to be priced at $400 (came in at $500). While the "two horizontal double opposed cylinders rated at 8 horsepower," was off, there are many tidbits here that do make it to the final Model N. This article appeared in the Lima Ohio newspaper, so this information was being circulated outside Detroit. At this point Ford Motor Co. is finishing off the main sales period of fiscal year 1905, and issued the second 100% dividend to FMC investors, so the future looks bright. FMC will also move into the top five automakers in the U.S. by the end of the 1905 sales season. Click on the article to see a higher resolution copy:
