Ford is turning one of Washington, D.C.\u2019s busiest transit hubs into a showcase of American industry, innovation and horsepower for the nation\u2019s 250th birthday.<\/p>\n
The automaker has opened “Driving America Forward,” a free Union Station exhibit that traces Ford\u2019s 123-year impact on American life \u2014 from the factory floor and World War II to farms, racetracks and pop culture.<\/p>\n
The exhibit runs July 1 through July 14 as millions of visitors travel through the nation\u2019s capital for Fourth of July celebrations.<\/p>\n

Ted Ryan, Ford\u2019s heritage and brand manager, told FOX Business that Union Station was selected because of its constant crowds and dramatic architecture.<\/p>\n
“Union Station was chosen because it\u2019s so incredibly visited,” Ryan said. “\u2026 The setting is just spectacular \u2014 the marble floor, the vaulted ceiling. It\u2019s a beautiful venue to display some absolutely amazing cars.”<\/p>\n
The goal, Ryan said, is for visitors to leave with a better understanding of Ford\u2019s role beyond the assembly line.<\/p>\n

“What we want people to walk away saying is, \u2018Oh my gosh, I didn\u2019t know Ford did that,\u2019” Ryan said.<\/p>\n
The exhibit features a range of vehicles, including the last Model T ever built. Ryan said the car, introduced in 1908, transformed transportation and at one point accounted for 57% of all cars in the world.<\/p>\n
Other vehicles on display include a 1928 Model A Roadster, a 1934 Flatbed Ford V8 pickup loaned by Jay Leno, a 1941 Ford GP, a 1951 Ford tractor, a 1954 F-100, a 1964 Mustang used in the New York World\u2019s Fair ride, a 1956 Ford Thunderbird, among others.<\/p>\n

Ryan said the lineup was chosen to show Ford\u2019s reach beyond passenger cars \u2014 from farms and factories to battlefields and racetracks.<\/p>\n
Archival displays also spotlight lesser-known Ford innovations, including early mail-sorting technology, barcode and ZIP code readers, and the company\u2019s role in helping build Mission Control in Houston for the Apollo program.<\/p>\n
