Across Canada With Ford - 1925

[Model A Canuck]

In 1925, Ford of Canada organized an epic crossing of Canada by road in celebration of their 21st anniversary, and the launch of a new version of their ubiquitous Model T car. Over the course of 44 days and more than 7,700 kilometers, two drivers, accompanied by Canadian highway promoter Dr. Perry Doolittle and a film crew, drove from Halifax to Vancouver. Footage of the trip was made into a silent documentary, Across Canada with Ford. Join Dumaresq de Pencier and Alex Gates for a special live screening with commentary of this film, and a snapshot of the perilous adventure that was driving in Canada in the 1920s.
