The first mass-produced automobile with the "Ford" name was the
Model T. Henry Ford was the president of the company; he was
certainly not the company's only engineer. Under Henry Ford's
leadership, the Model T was designed by C. Harold Wills, Joseph
Galamb and Eugene Farkas, and several other engineers working for
the Ford Motor Company. Wills and Galamb both had formal education
in mechanical engineering; Ford was a brilliant, intuitive
mechanic, but lacked education.
The first automobile that Henry Ford produced was the
Quadricycle in 1896.
