In 1937, six girls from Bradford, Illinois began a series of road trips in a 1926 Model T Ford that they dubbed the "Silver Streak." They traveled all over the country, visiting first the home of the Dionne Quints and then the World's Fair, Niagra Falls, and many interesting other places. They even got to meet Henry Ford himself. By the end of their journeys, they had driven over 71,000 miles in the Silver Streak. Must have been some great adventures...
