Show FORI) CAR NO. 10,000,000 FROM COAST TO COAST Selection of the Lincoln Highway as the official route of travel for Ford Car No. 10,000,000 on its trip from New York to San Francisco brings the world's most popular road and the world's most popular car into a new, more intimate association. Of course, Ford cars have sped along over this great ribbon of gray stretching from coast to coast ever since it was laid out and it would be interesting to count the Fords that will meet the ten millionth car on its journey. But supposing the other 9,999,999 Fords were suddenly to appear and endeavor to get on the highway with car No. 10,000,000. Well, there'd be a hurry call for all the traffic cops in the country and just how long it would take them to bring about any semblance of order no one could even guess. Anyway, let's give them the credit of doing a good job and finally lining up all the 10,000,000 cars, six abreast, which would make a line 33 feet 9 inches across. Then even with the cars standing end to end they would cover the entire en-tire 3,305 miles of the famous highway high-way and there would be 1,151,920 cars entirely out of the picture, unless the cops were not too tired to park them on either side of the road so they could see the rest of the family on parade. |
