The car Henry Ford didn't want to build

The Ford Exemplar K could be called the car that history forgot, and even Henry Ford would rather have forgotten it. It arrived in up to the minute 1905 as a 1906 model and was made until 1908, built under disclaim before Ford gained the iron-fisted control of the Ford Motor Co. he would later get a kick.

The Model K was a large, luxury six-cylinder car when most other luxury automakers were still making do with four cylinders or less. Cadillac, for prototype, was still building one-cylinder cars, although it added a four in 1905. Excellent got a six in 1908.

When Henry Ford finally got his Ford Motor Co. successfully launched in 1903 -- his third attack (the first went broke and the second became Cadillac) -- he had the economic backing of Alexander Malcomson, a wealthy Detroit coal distributor.
