3400 miles! We did trailer into SF, way too much traffic over the bay bridge.

Yesterday Fallon, NV to Sacramento, CA around Lake Tahoe, beautiful drive. Met up with old #4 Ed and Karen Archer. Today is the final day, about 100 miles to Lincoln Park in SF!

Today Highway 50 from Ely, NV to Fallon, NV 270 miles on the “Loneliest Highway in America”. Great drive!

Long day today over 300 miles with over 200 on dirt and gravel. Lehi, UT to Ely Nevada. The 1913 route through Utah and Nevada followed the Pony Express and Overland Stage Route.

Todays journey from Vernal, UT to Lehi, UT with a stop in Heber City to meet the local Model A club that escorted us to our Hotel in Lehi.

Today we traveled from Steamboat Springs, CO to Vernal, UT. With a stop at The Dinosaur National Monument. Absolutely beautiful country! We cooked hot dogs on the Manifold!

Drive today was short about 135 miles Laramie, WY to Steamboat Springs, CO. Getting off of the Lincoln Highway for a while because most through Wyoming is I-80. We will take Highway 40 to Vernal, UT. Pics from Rabbit Ears Pass Colorado.

Sorry we missed you, we were delayed and very late getting into Cheyenne. We wanted to get over Happy Jack Road before dark so only stopped for fuel in Cheyenne. Our event at Little America had been canceled. Again sorry we missed you, we would have very much enjoyed seeing you.

Longer drive today 270 miles Ogallala, NE to Laramie, WY. Real windy and cool today. Head wind. Beautiful country though.

Today Kearney, NE to Ogallala, NE 160 miles, followed a lot of the original 1913 Lincoln Highway not the current Highway 30. Dan you are correct this is a representative car, we have never claimed it to be the original. We are celebrating the 100th anniversary of when Frank Kulick made the original ...

Back on the road today Lincoln, NE to Kearney, NE 166 miles with a stop in Grand Island. Very warm day 96 degrees, car ran great. We did some maintenance on the car yesterday and replaced a couple of tires.

Half Way! Denison, IA to Lincoln, Ne. A day to rest up and service the car tomorrow. Will depart from the Museum of American Speed at 8:00 AM Sunday Morning! Headed for Kearney, NE.

Kirk,

Will not be going to Elkhorn tomorrow, going to spend a couple of nights in Lincoln. Need to do Laundry! I did however take the car to Elkhorn before we left.

Little Longer day today Cedar Rapids, IA to Denison, IA about 240 miles. Lots of interesting stops with history.

Short Drive today, 130 miles from Rock Falls, IL to Cedar Rapids, IA nice drive with much on the old Lincoln Highway, much of it gravel.

Another great drive from Plymouth, IN to Rock Falls, IL just over 200 miles with some great stops and quite a few other Model T’s.

Great day today, 226 miles Mansfield, OH to Plymouth, IN.
We had a police escort into Upper Sandusky, OH and we were presented an original brick from The Lincoln, Highway. (Thanks Dan!)

We completely rebuilt the engine all new rods, pistons and crankshaft.

Rod wasn’t tinned well.

Back on the road, 200 miles Greensburg, PA to Mansfield, Ohio! Car running great.

Yes Sunday, June 9 will be day 3.

The car is repaired! Our adventure resumes from Greensburg, PA on Sunday Morning at 8:00 AM!

We are getting some pretty snooty remarks from someone that has no idea of what has happened, we simply had a bearing failure on connecting rod. The engine was freshly rebuilt with a new crankshaft and all fresh parts to include rebuilt connecting rods from a very reputable rebuilder. Anyone can hav...

Update! The car had a connecting rod failure that has caused some damage. Repair will take several days so our schedule has been delayed until repairs are made.

It was great meeting you Jim! Day 2 Lancaster, PA to Greensburg, PA 206 miles. Beautiful country and lots of history drive through Gettysburg was greeted by the Mayor. Lunch at the Cashtown Inn. Super provided by the Greensburg Rotary Club. We had 4 other Model T’s join at different times throughout...

“I would be quite concerned about this segment which is characterized by lots of traffic, especially semis, not to mention commuters, rolling along at 70+ mph. I hope someone is closely following to prevent being rear-ended” We will be taking the southern route around Lake Tahoe avoiding I-80 and Re...

Links to our route maps will soon be available at museumofamericanspeed.org. Use of the maps will be the best way to know where we will be. We will be departing from each hotel at 8:00 AM each day. Arrival each day will depend on planned events along the route, there are quite a few planned by Tripl...
