wayne sheldon Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 The car used today is not the original "ten millionth" car. That one was apparently lost to history a long time ago. However, the event going on at this time is an honest effort to recreate and to some extent publicize the hundredth anniversary of the original event marked by Henry Ford and his longtime racing driver Frank Kulick. The Model T Ford Club of America's forum is following it closely if anyone would like to check it out further. https://mtfca.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=39296 The beginning of the drive was marked by an early bearing failure, which was quickly and hopefully fully repaired. The drive is back on, only a couple days behind schedule. Part of the fun of driving hundred year old cars! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prewarnut Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 ...just because I like checking, the Platinum Anniversary is the 70th. A 100th is simply a "centennial." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trulyvintage Posted Wednesday at 12:08 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:08 PM My friend Dean Yoder from Iowa City, Iowa logs more miles in his Model T in a year than most folks do in a lifetime. Dean prefers primitive roads including logging and single track steep track paths. Dean has driven coast to coast over the years and has been to Alaska and back in his Model T. This year to date: Left The Yoder Farm in Iowa City, Iowa and drove to the Luray Swap Meet. Dean joined the tour after the swap meet. Left Luray and went to The MTFCA Homecoming In Richmond, Indiana. Left Richmond and stopped by The Yoder Farm for one night and some radiator cap repairs and provisions. Headed to Four Corners where he met up with his traveling buddy George House. Left Four Corners for The Yoder Farm. Dean either boondocks in the beauty of nature or stays in campgrounds.

NewOldWood Posted Wednesday at 01:15 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:15 PM Great pictures, and lots more where those came from! I don't know Dean, but know some people that do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted Wednesday at 09:22 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:22 PM The 100th anniversary car and its driver were featured recently on local TV when they were in the Harrisburg/ Lancaster area as part of this cross country trip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
