Henry Ford Museum Partners with College for Creative Studies to Display Students’ Model T Designs of the Future

DEARBORN, Mich.–(EMWNews)–Visit Henry Ford Museum this summer and be amazed by the new Model T

concepts created by students from College of Creative Studies (CCS) in

Detroit. Eleven clay models representing Model Ts of the future will be

on display throughout the summer.

Challenged by Ford Motor Company and channeling the spirit of Henry

Ford, eleven students enrolled in the CCS Transportation Design program

worked with Ford designers, historians and futurists, for 16 weeks

forming concepts that add style, affordability, and improved

sustainability to the boxy “Tin Lizzie.”

The students created a Model T for the future that is more aerodynamic

in shape, weighs less and uses environmentally-friendly materials.

On April 30, 2008, Dang Tran, of Cicero, New York, won the design

competition based on the concept that best embodied the spirit,

innovation and sociological impact equal to that of the original Model

T. Tran’s model will also be displayed at Ford

World Headquarters this fall.

Henry Ford Museum is open seven days a week, 9:30am to 5pm. Admission is

$14 adults, $13 seniors and $10 youths; members and children four and

under are free. For more information please call (313) 982-6001 or visit www.thehenryford.org.
