'Flivver' was a slang word for a cheap car. It appears that only four examples were built of the aircraft for the masses, which Henry Ford said should fit in his office. #1 was unregistered, #2 was NC268. This is #3, NC3218, with an almost 50% longer wingspan and a much longer nose. It crashed in February 1928 killing the test pilot in the picture, Harry Brooks. Charles Lindbergh was the only other pilot to fly the Flivver, and later said it was one of the worst aircraft he ever encountered. #4 was only completed to represent NC3218 in the Henry Ford Museum. Designations and construction numbers unclear. Photo from: The Henry Ford
