Model T Tour Heads West in Humble Ford Parade

Clifford Jenkins of Mitchellville Md pilots a 1927 Model TT Ford touring car west toward Joliet during the month long United Model T Ford Club tour. The Star notes the 302 mile one day drive from Detroit to Joliet, with Star reporter Pete Reynolds as navigator. The 1984 tour covers 3521 miles over 17 driving days and a five day Detroit break, recalling the 1909 East to St Louis trek as a compare.

Ford Model T the greatest bargain in auto history

The Model T, debuting in October 1998 on the American stage, sparked a revolution in car design and price. Ford's "Tin Lizzie" offered 20 horsepower, a 40 mph top speed, and mass production that slashed cost from 825 to 850 dollars in 1908 to 260 dollars by 1925, with over 15 million built and widespread use across farmers and families.
