International Cup Trophy Won by Frank Kulick Driving a Ford, 1904
01
Artifact Overview
Frank Kulick was one of Ford Motor Company's first employees and, for nine years, Ford's top factory racing driver. From 1904 to 1913, Kulick won trophies, admiration and -- most importantly -- publicity by racing Ford-powered cars throughout the United States. A serious crash in 1907 left Kulick with a lifelong limp, but it didn't discourage him from racing.
