Secure a seat behind the wheel of an AUTHENTIC Model T Ford, built between 1908 and 1927 — right out of the Museum’s fleet of vintage vehicles! Drive three miles within our historic campus while with an experienced and enthusiastic instructor.
This is a memorable, hands-on experience that’s perfect for multi-generational family groups, couples, corporate team building, or anyone who wants to take a step back in time and learn how to drive, or get a refresher, in one of the 15 million “Tin Lizzies” built by the Ford Motor Company over 100 years ago.
Our expert instructors will teach:
Use of spark and throttle control levers
Coordination of hand and foot controls
Proper shifting techniques
Stopping the vehicle
