Innovations Larry Liposky #1 in Car Sales

1906 Ford Model N Runabout Manufacturing Information #1 in Car Sales for 1906 Manufactured By Ford Motor Company Production of the Ford Model K was forced onto Henry Ford by his investors. The Assembled At Piquette Avenue Plant, Detroit, Michigan Model K was a huge, powerful, and expensive car priced between $2,500 - $2,800- a far cry from Henry Ford’s vision of an affordable car for the masses. Nearly Model Production Unknown (this model only in 1906) simultaneously, though, production of the Model N began. The Model N was small, Annual Production 8,828 (all vehicles this manufacturer in 1906) lightweight, agile and was initially priced at an astounding $500. Although the price of Body Runabout the Model N was soon raised to $600, this was still $50 less than the one-cylinder, Horsepower 15 tiller-steered, 10 horsepower, top selling Oldsmobile runabout. The Model N Weight 1,050 pounds/476 kilograms boasted a front-mounted, 4-cylinder, 15-18 horsepower engine capable of pushing the car to 40 mph. It was an incredible value. Finally there was a car that met the 1906 Cost $500 (USD) needs of the middle class! It soon spawned the mechanically identical Models R and S and catapulted Ford into the #1 sales position in the world!

Auction Story
“The Schuchardt’s Last Show” The Schuchardt Collection Auction Who would have thought that one ingenious idea would change the course of history and man. That simple combustion engine started the industrial revolution and changed our social lives forever. From that moment on we became a nation on the move. The automobile let us travel to new and wonderful places and made the world a smaller place. Horses were replaced by horsepower and started many changes to come. There were many ideas for the new automobile, but one man, Henry Ford, started the mass produced Vehicles and allowed the World to become mobile. He developed many of the early Letter Series and then came the Model T Ford. Les Schuchard was one of the men that fell under the spell of the new transportation. Every since he was a kid, he marveled at this fabulous new machine. Les Schuchard knew the area and all the farmers while working for the Black Hills Power Company. One of his first vehicles that he bought was a 1923 Ford Model T. He bought it from a farmer and this started his collecting. Les Also bought some Gold Claims in the Black Hills and with a lot of hard work, soon the claims started to pay off some. This allowed him to pursue his dream of collecting those fabulous vehicles he read about and grew up with. He married the love of his wife Delores and they started their family. They settled in Spearfish, South Dakota and a home near Spearfish Creek. Delores soon also enjoyed the vehicles and they spent many trips chasing for vehicles all over the U.S.
