Artifact Overview

A caravan of alternative-fuel vehicles traveled from Michigan to Tennessee as part of a promotional tour for Ford Motor Company and the 1982 Knoxville World's Fair. The cars were powered by natural gas, propane, methanol, and ethanol. This "experimental fuel fleet" left Dearborn on April 19 and arrived in Knoxville a week later -- ready for a six-month display at the fair.
