The plaque reads: "This tablet marks the site of the birthplace of the Ford motor car. Henry Ford began experimenting with the automobile in a small workshop located here, in the early nineties. In 1896 he produced his first car--a two-cylinder machine, mounted on a light chassis geared to rubber-tired bicycle wheels. In the year 1926 the Ford Motor Company produced its fourteen millionth motor.
