1896: Henry Ford tested his hand-built Quadricycle, marking a milestone in automotive history. Ford's Quadricycle featured a basic design with four bicycle wheels and a simple gas engine mounted to a carriage frame. Despite its rudimentary construction, it reached a top speed of 20 mph. Today, the original Quadricycle is housed at The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.
