I apologize if this has been posted here before. It's new to me. I was unaware that it was in running condition.

I had seen it before. I don't remember where I got the link from. But I don't mind at all. I enjoyed seeing it again!
Thanks Eric H.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2

Eric, this Sweepstakes is a reproduction, It's construction was overseen and primarily undertaken by Glenn Miller, the other gentleman in the car in the video. The project was funded by the Ford Motor Company. This Sweepstakes and the recreation of the 1896 Quadracycle are usually running around Greenfield Village during the Old Car Festival.

I think the Company also was going to fund a recreation of the famous "999" racer but then the economy took a nose dive last decade.
