Ford had an air cooled car planned in 1904. I’ve been told one was built, and think I’ve seen plans. They decided to go with water cooled instead, and produced the 4 cylinder model B. About this time, the split with the majority stockholder Alexander Malcomson took place. Malcomson went on to produce the Aerocar, using air cooled motors made in Indiana. Perhaps the split was connected to this somehow. Remember, at this time FoMoCo was an assembler, not making the parts themselves.
