Thomas Edison's Model T was purchased from a local Ford dealership in Fort Myers. It was then given to Edison as a gift from his friend Henry Ford. Ford offered Edison a new automobile every year, but Edison refused. Instead, he preferred to have new gadgets added to his vehicle. Thus, the body was replaced, and by 1925 the "1916" Motel T had a new 4 cylinder, 20 horsepower engine, a battery-electric starting system and a generator. |
