199 runners started the race in Los Angeles, in March, 1928, following route 66 to Chicago, then on to NYC. 55 of them finished in 84 days.

The 2002 show is an hour of narration, new video and stills from the race, which showed lots of cars, some of them Ts, of course.

Andy Payne, Cherokee of Claremore OK, won the $25K prize. There should be more about it on www.pbs.org .

It would be OT, but among the credits were Fred Puckett and Al Spencer of the Show Me Ts in Springfield, MO.
