Ernest Pfenning of Chicago (above) became Ford’s first car owner – 23 July 1903.


On July 15, 1903, the newly formed Ford Motor Company took its
first order from
Chicago dentist Ernst Pfenning: an $850 two-
cylinder Model A automobile with a tonneau (or backseat). The car, produced at Ford’s plant on Mack Street (now Mack Avenue) in
Detroit, was delivered to Dr. Pfenning just over a week later.

    The photo of the man in the car is Henry Ford. That is a famous photo and it is Ford, not Pfenning
