\u201cThis summer, at the peak of America\u2019s 250th birthday celebrations, those travelers will be greeted by something extraordinary. From July 1 through July 14, Ford will host Driving America Forward: A Ford Experience at Union Station<\/i>, a free public exhibit that gathers, under one roof, some of the most culturally significant vehicles and artifacts in the American story,\u201d according to Ford From the Road\u2019s (FFTR) website.<\/p>\n

The display traces more than a century of American innovation from the Ford Motor Company, housed inside one of the capital\u2019s most historic transportation landmarks. (RELATED: Millennial Mom of Three: America 250 Will Teach My Kids to Love This Country, Not Apologize for It)<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the FFTR, the vehicles are not \u201cmerely cars and trucks,\u201d but part of \u201c123 years\u201d of American history. \u201cThey are the machines that carried us to work and to war, to church on Sunday, and to the moon itself. They built our towns.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The FFTR also explains that Ford \u201chas done more than build automobiles,\u201d highlighting its development of the moving assembly line, a breakthrough that transformed manufacturing.<\/p>\n

It also points to Ford\u2019s introduction of the $5 workday, noting that wages doubled overnight because of \u201cthe radical notion that the men who built the cars ought to be able to drive one home.\u201d<\/p>\n

The exhibit credits the widespread availability of automobiles with helping fuel the Great Migration, which saw an estimated six million black Americans leave the rural South between the 1910s and 1970s in search of greater opportunities, according to the National Archives.

Ford also played a major role during World War II, when its factories shifted to military production. \u201cAt Willow Run, an engineering marvel rose from the Michigan farmland: a mile-long assembly line that produced a B-24 Liberator bomber every 63 minutes,\u201d the exhibit states. \u201cBy war\u2019s end, Ford had built more than 277,000 jeeps and countless tanks for the Arsenal of Democracy. And when the soldiers came home, Ford tractors helped them coax a living from their own soil.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s influence extended beyond the war years. At the 1964 New York World\u2019s Fair, Ford introduced the Mustang, which became one of America\u2019s most iconic automobiles, according to Ford\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

Decades later, the Ford F-Series became the nation\u2019s best-selling\u00a0truck for 49 consecutive years, serving as a vehicle for contractors, farmers, ranchers, and first responders across the country. (RELATED: Patriots Host Cross-Country Flag Relay For America250)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cDriving America Forward\u201d is organized into seven chapters that outline Ford\u2019s history and broader impact over time. It covers the company\u2019s growth from a small Detroit automaker into a global manufacturer, along with its role in supporting key parts of the American workforce.<\/p>\n
