The Ford Model S was a three- or four-seater open passenger car , built by Ford in the USA. From 1907, the car, equipped with a 4-cylinder in-line engine of 11 kW, was sold for an affordable $ 700, albeit without a roof and lighting. Like its immediate predecessor, the Ford Model N , the car had chain drive, front-engine and rear-wheel drive, the main difference being a longer wheelbase on the S. By 1909, around 3750 units were produced. With the introduction of the all-important Ford Model T , the S no longer had a future.
