It was built at the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant. It had a slightly more powerful engine and {{convert|6|in|mm|abbr=on}} longer wheelbase. It was the entry-level car in the Ford model lineup, slotting below the upscale Model B. Production ended in 1905 with 800 cars made. The Model C was replaced by the derivative Model F in 1905. Both Models A and C were produced at the same time, but the Model A could also be bought with a Model C engine, an option called the AC. The Model C engine was an opposed twin giving {{Convert|8|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} at first and {{Convert|10|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} by 1905, with a claimed top speed of {{convert|38|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.[1] The Model C two-seater was marketed as a 'Doctor's Car' and sold for $850, compared to the high-volume Oldsmobile Runabout at US$650,[2] Western's Gale Model A at US$500,[3] and the Success at an amazingly low US$250.[4] It offered the option of making it a four-seater for an extra $100. The top also cost extra: rubber $30, leather $50.{{cn|date=June 2017}} Although the Model C had a protruding front "box" like a modern car, unlike the flat-front Model A, this was purely ornamental — the engine remained under the seat (the gas tank was under the hood[1]). The Model C was the first vehicle to be built at Ford Motor Company of Canada.
