The Ford model N car was the predecessor of the more famous model T. Henry Ford designed the model N to test his ground-breaking ideas for a cheap, mass-produced car. The model N’s light yet strong chassis, simple and robust four-cylinder engine, and two-speed and reverse gear system were carried through to the design of the model T.
