Just got an email update from Richard Diamond, the grandson of Aloha Wanderwell, first woman to drive around the world....she did it in a Model T Ford!


Aloha Wanderwell

"Here is a blurb we're hoping Ford's Ad Agencies' pick up on....What an ad campaign The Model T and Aloha would make....WOW..!"



The Very First "Ford Challenge"


Covered in graffiti, dragged across deserts, lubricated with bananas and elephant fat, and running on kerosene, the first car to travel the world was a gift to Henry Ford.

And what amazed indigenous peoples across 43 countries and four continents more, the intrepid 1918 Model T or the beautiful tall •••••• at the wheel?

From Paris to Peking, from Syria to Siberia, Aloha Wanderwell made history with her, little Lizzie, presenting it at journey's end to Mr. Ford at his Dearborn museum in 1929.
