Fantastic news! Winning any division on The Great Race is a remarkable achievement for the Youth Driving Program kids. The National Automotive and Truck Museum and Early Ford V-8 Museum mentors have spent countless hours working with and training these kids about the in's and out's of the Fords they drove across the country to victory.

Students from St. Louis Community College were among those competing with a 1950 Ford from the Early Ford V-8 Museum in a multi-state automobile race from St. Augustine, FL, to Colorado Springs, CO.

The Labor Day Swap Meet was a success! Over 80 vendors gathered to sell their goods to crowds of people visiting from all over to celebrate the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival and Labor Day weekend. Gas tanks, hubcaps, and tires were sold in plenty. The Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum did well on admissions for the weekend and sold many raffle tickets for the 1957 Ford Thunderbird. Overall it was a fun ACD Festival and Swap Meet week here at the museum, and we look forward to watching this event grow.

Congratulations to our 2022 Raffle Car winner Bruce Webber, MA. As well as our second prize winner Phil Willardson, MN, and third prize winner, Craig MacCambridge, CO. The museum is happy to report that it did over $40,000 in raffle ticket sales. Thank you to everyone who participated in this fundraising event. license #145296
