Antique Ford stops at Teague Motor Company on June 21 1959 on its re-tracing of the route of a cross-country race won by a similar model in 1909 that took 22 days. Behind the car in the first picture is the 50 millionth Ford produced since then. Old number 2 here actually only drove about 200 miles on this trip while riding inside a truck most of the time.
