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
- Correct use of the Neutral / Brake lever
- Reversing the vehicle
- Starting basics
PLUS, all students will receive:
- Historian-guided lessons on Henry Ford and how the Model T changed the world.
- Souvenir Model T booklet – produced exclusively for the Gilmore Car Museum.
- Admission to the entire Historic Campus of the Gilmore Car Museum for the day.
- Certificate of Completion suitable for framing.
