Montana Cross Country “T” Association

A Schedule S nonprofit Montana Corporation

Founded in 1961

Background:

The Ford Model T was voted the “Car of the Century” which was an international award given to the world's most influential car of the 20th century.  The election process was overseen by the Global Automotive Elections Foundation with a narrowed field of 200 cars.  The winner, the Ford Model T, was announced at an awards gala on December 18, 1999 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Montana Cross Country “T” Assn. is dedicated to rebuilding, refurbishing, preserving, and proving stock Ford Model T’s.  In some cases, members fully restore these cars to a “new car status” in most every aspect.

The Assn. also allows the above Model T’s that meet written safely requirements to be endurance-tested at their annual runs.  The Montana 500 is sort of a proving ground for the owner, engine builder, chassis builder, and electrical systems builder.

We highly recommend that you get yourself a Model T and join these endurance runs.  Expect to have some old school (or new school) fun.  It is a friendly helpful atmosphere.

 Membership Information:
