History
In the 1920's Edsel Ford commissioned designer George Crouch and Henry B. Nevins of City Island New York, to build the 40 foot speedboat Typhoon at a cost of $39,900, a staggering price, when a Model A Ford roadster cost $475, a 4 bedroom brick home cost $2,500 and America's most expensive automobile, a Duesenberg Double Cowl phaeton cost $15,000. Typhoon's power was a 2000 cubic inch V12 aircraft engine.
