Model T Driving Experience

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.
