The new Twin City Motor Speedway. Dario Resta beside his Mercedes race car, number 24, posing with his racing team, after dropping out of the AAA-sponsored 500 mile race, at the 110 mile point, with a broken oil pump. (A cap from the back of the pump case had jolted off, causing a loss of oil.) Additional scenes from the race are seen. Start of the race. Cars racing on track.
American men walk on busy market street. Trams or Trolleys or Streetcars pass by in market street. Cars and trucks on busy market street. Tall Tower in background. Likely at Ford Factory. Approximately 1926.
Several Ford M1918 3 ton light tanks are seen maneuvering at a testing ground in Michigan during World War I. Henry Ford and son, Edsel, are watching the tests. One of the tanks climbs an embankment and flips over backwards, landing upside down. A group of men gather around the overturned tank and attempt to turn it upright. Henry Ford stands nearby watching.
Several Army cars parked at a turn in the route of the 1919 U.S. Army Motor Transport convoy, in Nebraska. Led by a motocyclist, an army truck of the convoy makes the turn onto a muddy road, where it passes a small canvas-covered wagon mired down at the side of the road. Scene shifts to an army truck preparing to pull another one out of a ditch at th side of the muddy road. Soldiers direct the truck driver as he maneuvers into position.
Trucks of the 1919 U.S. Army Motor Transport convoy from Washington, DC to San Francisco, California, roll along the dirt road of the Lincoln Highway, crossing the Continental Divide, in Wyoming. Behind them, soldiers walk near a slow moving truck with sign painted on its back reading: "Coast to Coast Machine Shop, Service Park Unit 595." Another truck slowly passes the same point, where there is a downhill grade. A dwelling is at the side of the road, and others are seen in the background. The road is dry hard-packed dirt. Next, trucks of the convoy are seen driving on a road parallel to a railroad on which a steam locomotive is pushing a long train of freight cars in the same direction as the trucks. View of trucks driving past extended snake rail fencing.
Trucks of the U.S. Army 1919 coast-to-coast motor convoy are silhouetted against the sky as they drive across open plains in Wyoming. Closer view of the trucks raising lots of dust as they proceed along a dry dirt road. Convoy trucks descending a hill and crossing a small bridge over a creek. View of trucks driving away over semi desert raising dust as they proceed. A truck moving through dust partially obscuring visibility.
