Artifact Overview

Three significant Fords sit outside Henry Ford Museum. The "999" race car, built in 1902, made headlines with Barney Oldfield at the tiller. The fifteen millionth Ford, built in 1927, represented the end of Model T manufacture. When this photo was taken, the twenty millionth Ford, a 1931 Model A, represented the latest milestone in Ford Motor Company production.
