All-Ford Event at the Museum of Transportation
On Sunday, April 1, 2007, there will be an ALL-FORD EVENT at the Museum of Transportation from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. hosted by: The Model A Restorers Club, the Model T Ford Club of Greater St. Louis, and the Missouri Valley Early Ford V-8 Club.
When Henry Ford introduced the moving assembly line to automobile production in 1913, he paved the way for his Model T to become the most influential and popular vehicle in automotive history. After 19 years and the production of 15 million Model Ts, Ford introduced the dramatically different and improved Model A in 1927 as a 1928 model, and the relatively sophisticated but still inexpensive Model A paved the way for Ford’s introduction of an affordable V-8 engine to the masses in the mid-1930s.
At this event, visitors will have the opportunity to: see a Ford Model T assembled from parts in just minutes—and then driven away, witness the evolution of Ford and the United States automotive industry, visit with the owners of these beautiful automobiles and learn about the history, restoration, and enjoyment of their vehicles
Admission to this automotive event is free. Admission to the remainder of the Museum of Transportation is $4 for adults, $2 for seniors and children ages 5-12, and children under 5 are free with a paying adult family member.
The Museum of Transportation is a unit of St. Louis County Department of Parks and Recreation and according to the Smithsonian Institution “has one of the largest and best collections of transportation vehicles in the world.” It is located at 3015 Barrett Station Road in West St. Louis County, and is open Tuesday through Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Sunday 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
