SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Monday, October 13, 2025 — Eight vintage Ford Model A cars rolled onto the Santa Monica Pier, marking the completion of a three-week cross-country road trip along the historic Route 66 — known as “The Mother Road.” Spectators gathered along the Pier to admire the gleaming classics, snap photos and selfies, and chat with the proud drivers who had navigated the 2,448-mile route from Chicago to the Pacific.
The Ford Model A, produced between 1927 and 1931, represented the second major success for the Ford Motor Company following the legendary Model T. The vehicles featured an improved engine, modern controls, and a variety of body styles that helped usher in a new era of American automotive design.
The coast-to-coast convoy was chronicled in a dedicated travel blog, Route 66 Model A 2025, which documents the cars’ journey through eight states, showcasing small-town Americana, roadside diners, and iconic landmarks along the way.
