The Museum of American Speed has big plans to drive a 1924 Ford Model T from coast-to-coast in celebration of the ten-millionth Model T’s 100th anniversary. The cruise will begin on June 2, departing from Battery Park in New York City for a drive along the historical Lincoln Highway all the way to San Francisco, California.
The cross-country trek is not this Model T’s first journey. In June 1924, the Ford Motor company drove it on the same route as a promotional effort. Later down the road, the Hathaway family completed the historic journey twice, once to celebrate the 50th anniversary and again for the 75th anniversary. Most recently, the ten-millionth Model T recreation has resided at the Museum of American Speed, on display for the public to see before its next adventure this summer.
“Our team is excited to be part of a third trip in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the ten-millionth Model T Ford and for the vehicle to become part of our permanent collection for years to come,” said Tim Matthews curator of the Museum of American Speed. “This journey is more than a trip across our great country, it is a celebration of the vehicle which gave freedom to millions of Americans. The Model T Ford changed the world’s landscape and way of life forever. We are excited to take this 100-year-old car out of its museum display and prove it can make this monumental voyage once again.”
Sea to Sea in a Model T
Founded in 1992 by the “Speedy” Bill and Joyce Smith family, the Museum of American Speed was recognized last year as the #1 Attraction for Car Lovers in the USA Today 10 Best Reader’s Choice awards. Guests can enjoy 240,000 square feet of display space over three levels. Each area within the building is full of automotive history, much of which was accumulated through “Speedy” Bill and Joyce Smith’s personal involvement in racing and hot rodding and their family’s lifelong passion for collecting and preserving racing and automotive history. Aside from highlighting racing and speed equipment development, the museum also features including the largest collection of vintage pedal cars, gas-powered miniature race cars, automobile-themed toys, automotive art, lunchboxes and more.
“When our father passed away, we held on to the Model T in search of the right home,” said Anne McAtee. “Being on display at the Museum of American Speed will allow the vehicle and its history to be passed along and enjoyed by many others.”
