One of the most elegant -- and impractical -- cars ever made in Detroit, the Mark II was the creation of William Clay Ford, brother of Henry II. With a wheelbase more than 10 feet long, a pagoda-style roof, and a spare-tire bump on the rear deck, it was instantly recognizable. Hand-built, the Mark II sold for $10,000 -- as much as a Rolls-Royce -- and Ford lost money on every one.
