The Museum of American Speed will embark on a "Sea to Sea in a Model T" road trip on the Lincoln Highway from New York to San Francisco in a 1924 Ford Model T on June 4th to mark the 100th anniversary


The ten-millionth Ford Car left the Highland Park factories of The Ford Motor Company on June 4th, 1924

Frank Kulick, who attained fame and broke many records as the pilot of Ford racing cars, was at the wheel during the trans-continental trip on the Lincoln Highway from New York to San Francisco, 



and a recreation of that same vehicle is on display at the Museum of American Speed after it was donated by the family of the late Dr. Hathaway, who made the same exact trip a total of two times – to mark 50 years since Ford’s own road trip, as well as 75 years.



“Our team is excited to be part of a third trip in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the ten-millionth Model T Ford,” said Tim Matthews curator of the Museum of American Speed.

 “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.”
