Each month, we like to take a look back at the events at which the Historic Vehicle Association was in attendance and presented awards. Here are July and August’s big winners from a handful of events across the country.
If coverage of the Historic Vehicle Association’s “Road Trip Century Celebration Tour” isn’t enough to get you excited about hitting the open road with friends, history offers plenty more inspiration. Imagine tagging along on one of these “epic” road adventures.
After some 3,500 miles and countless hours behind the wheel, we sat down with the 1915 Model T’s two primary drivers to ask a few questions about the trip. Read on to hear firsthand accounts of HVA Historian Casey Maxon and President Mark Gessler.
What’s it like to travel across the country in a 100-year-old car? Read on to find out that and more as we recap our month-long journey from Detroit to San Francisco in a 1915 Model T.
The idea of driving a 100-year-old car across the country certainly seemed to resonate with people. In nearly every city we stopped, media outlets turned out to cover the story. We’ve collected but a handful from the past couple months for this special edition of The Roundup.
Throughout the Road Trip Century Celebration, our staff photographers Casey Maxon and John Paul had their cameras at the ready to capture the action as it transpired. We’ve collected a few of our favorites below. Full photographic coverage of the event is available on our Facebook page.
This Friday, members of the HVA staff will begin a cross-country trek that will see them following in the footsteps of Edsel Ford 100 years after he and a group of friends traveled from Detroit to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco.
Next month, to mark the 100th anniversary of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition, a team of Historic Vehicle Association staffers will be driving a 1915 Model T across the country. Read on to learn more about why the Exhibition is significant in the history of modern American car culture, how Edsel Ford plays into the equation and how you can follow along on the HVA’s trek.
