From Your Corner of Washington: Model Ts invade Puget Sound

July 13, 2009

It isn’t every day that you see dozens of vintage Model Ts cruising on a highway or street. But that’s what happened last weekend in the Puget Sound area as members of the Model T Ford Club International finished driving more than 50 of these classic cars coast to coast from New York City to Seattle. Go here to read more about the “2009 Ocean-to-Ocean in a Model T” event, which began June 14. After the cars and drivers stayed Thursday night at Snoqualmie Pass, they rolled through North Bend, Snoqualmie, Fall City and Preston before stopping for the next two nights in Issaquah. The rally concluded yesterday as the entourage traveled through Renton and then north along the Seattle side of Lake Washington before stopping for good at Drumheller Fountain on the University of Washington campus. The event reenacted the coast-to-coast race of 1909 Ocean-to-Ocean Automobile Race. The "tin lizzies" came to Seattle for the Centennial Celebration of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition.
