Henry Ford's first gasoline powered car (his very first car was a steam car) was finished in 1896, and called the Quadricycle. The Quadricycle had a 4 hp two cylinder engine, a leather belt, and ran at a top speed of 20 mph. He sold two of them for $200 each, and later bought one of them back for $65. The positive response to the Quadricycle enabled Ford to get financing to found the Ford Motor Company in 1903.
