Artifact Overview
Ford Motor Company sent its Model T cars to destinations around the world. When moved by railroad, cars were partially disassembled to save space in boxcars. When going overseas, cars could either be partially disassembled and crated, or loaded into a ship's hold fully assembled. Gas, oil and water were usually drained from each vehicle to reduce weight.
