NEW YORK—A caravan of old-fashioned Model T cars chugged down the West Side Highway in Manhattan on Sunday, beginning their 4,000-mile trek across the U.S.
The slow-moving bunch is commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Ocean to Ocean Endurance Run. Among their sputtering ranks are 50 cars representing the U.S. states, and another five representing countries including Sweden, Australia, and Canada.
Their final destination will be in Seattle on July 12.
“Hopefully, we will make it there on time,” said Edna (who did not give her last name), who is on the journey from her home in Virginia with her husband, Jim. A bumper sticker on the back of their Model T reads, “Model Ts don’t leak, they mark their territory”.
