Henry Ford built his first automobile, the “Quadricycle,“ in 1896 in a wood and coal shed behind his home at 58 Bagley Avenue in Detroit. He built a 2-cylinder gasoline motor, made from old steam engine parts, to power the vehicle. Although not the first to operate in the city, the car “was considered something of a nuisance“ on the streets of Detroit,“ Ford recalled, “for it made a racket and scared horses.“
