Some of these include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Coming Together: A Celebration of Henry Ford<\/strong> \u2013 July 27, 2013, The Henry Ford Estate Fair Lane, Dearborn, Mich.

The company\u2019s cash balance stood at less than $250. A much-needed cash infusion arrived on July 13, 1903: One full payment and two deposits totaling $1,320 for three Model A cars kept Ford Motor Company afloat.\u00a0The car revealed here is a red 1903 Model A Rear Entry Tonneau. It is believed to be car No. 3, chassis No. 30, and the lone survivor of the group of three Model A cars sold on that day.\u00a0The vehicle was auctioned <a title=\"RM Auctions Hershey Results\" href=\"https:\/\/sportscardigest.com\/rm-auctions-hershey-2012-auction-results\/\">through RM Auctions<\/a> in October, 2012 in Hershey, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Model A helped keep our company going during a difficult time and enabled my great-grandfather to continue pursuing his vision of putting the world on wheels,\u201d said Bill Ford. \u201cWe look forward to carrying that same spirit of innovation forward as we develop new technologies for safer, cleaner, more fuel-efficient vehicles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A dedicated website, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.henryford150.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.henryford150.com<\/a>, includes an interactive timeline of Ford\u2019s life, tours, a calendar of 2013 events and information about efforts to preserve Henry Ford\u2019s heritage.<br \/>\n[Source: Ford]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A key part of Ford Motor Company\u2019s heritage returns home as a Model A built in 1903 is again with the Ford family, kicking off the yearlong celebration of the 150th anniversary of the birth of company founder Henry Ford.
