An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/60lEWGn9j3jYtLMno9S96w==, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The Model K was a failure, something that can be attributed to both the high price (between $2500 and $3000 - between $61000 and $73000 today) and poor quality. Ford was also known to make inexpensive cars and people who wanted a more luxurious car bought other brands. Production ended in 1908 after 900 cars had been made. The failure of the upscale line, including the Model B and K, caused two critical changes at the Ford company: it would focus for the next two decades on entry-level volume models like the Model T, and led to the departure of Alexander Malcomson, one of the founding partners, leaving Henry Ford as the majority shareholder. Also, Ford himself cared very little for the expensive Model K.
