Ford Hits The 100 Year Mark
Ford Motor Co is marking the 100th anniversary of the Model T, the first low-priced car that introduced motoring to the masses, at a time when Americans are cringing at the cost of filling their gas tanks and the US auto industry is struggling with plant closings and layoffs.
But a week long celebration of the Model T in Richmond in the US promises to offer some nostalgic balm.
About 750 of the iconic vehicles were on display on Monday in what is being called the largest gathering of Model Ts since they left the factory.
Edsel Ford II, great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford, planned to address the crowd on Monday night at an opening banquet.
The gathering transformed the Wayne County Fairgrounds into what looked like a movie set for a motion picture depicting life in the early 1900s.
