Driverless cars are on the horizon, but before the world falls asleep in the drivers seat, lets take a look back down the road from whence we have come. Ford ModelT CoasttoCoast, documents the crosscountry adventure of two brave drivers as they pilot a centuryold ModelT on a 3,000mile journey from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Coast.The book is as much a contemplation of early20th century American life as it is a fond farewell to the automotive age. Can the car still be the vehicle of freedom and discovery, when were no longer in command? Or will we finally be able to fully appreciate the scenery rushing past?Accompanied by Michael Alan Ross evocative photography, author Tom Cotter stops in small towns, meets local people and hears their stories about cars, travel, and life. Cotter and Ross also explore back roads adjacent to his main route, the Lincoln Highwaythe first transcontinental road.Significant crosscountry runs, such as those by speedrecord setter Cannonball Baker, and literary adventurers such as Jack Kerourac, John Steinbeck and Bill Bryson are considered in light of the driverless future. Cotter also drives some of the same roads that a young Edsel Ford traveled in his fathers Model T upon high school graduation in 1917.In addition to the central road trip, Cotter also visits interesting automotive and transport museums as well as keepers of the flame such as ModelT clubs, mechanics, junkyards and collectors across the country.He also records the numerous trials and tribulations in keeping a 100yearold car operating on a 3,000mile journey, something the driverless car of the future is unlikely to encounter.Join Cotter on his slow drive across a fast country. Youll be glad you did.
