‘Sea to Sea in a Model T’ to make 4 stops in Nebraska
HASTINGS, Neb. (KSNB) – The Museum of American Speed announced Tuesday that the “Sea to Sea in a Model T” will make four stops in Nebraska on its coast-to-coast campaign across the country.
The museum announced plans earlier this year to travel from New York to San Fransisco in a 1924 Model T Ford to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 10 millionth Model T Ford.
This is the third trip across the nation for the Model T.
“We are excited to give the public a chance to see this historic vehicle that made cross country travel possible along with the Lincoln Highway,” Curator of the Museum of American Speed Tim Matthews said.

The Model T had a mechanical issue in Greensburg, Pennsylvania and was taken into Ohio for repairs. The engine was pulled out and then returned to Greensburg. It is moving a bit slower now, according to Kelsey Bugjo of Speedway Motors, but otherwise, it is going well.
The trip restarted Sunday and is set to reach Lincoln on Friday.
In June 1924, the Ford Motor company drove the 10 millionth Model T from New York to San Franscisco via the Lincoln Highway as a promotional effort. The 10 millionth Model T was recently donated to the Museum of American Speed by the family of the late Dr. Alan Hathaway.
“After the trip is completed, the vehicle will be on permanent display at the Museum of American Speed in Lincoln,” Matthews said.
Speedway Motors has long been the title sponsor of the Museum of American Speed. Other companies that have signed on to support the trip include Coker Tire, AAA, Bosselman and AmBest.
Additional stops to be announced. Times may vary based on travel on the day of each event.

The future of data centers in Nebraska took center stage at a North Omaha town hall Thursday evening.
The event was hosted by State Sens. Terrell McKinney and Ashlei Spivey, who alongside Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh sponsored a bill in the Nebraska Legislature that looked to help regulate data centers.
Parts of their bill were adopted and passed in LB1010, which requires reports on annual power usage, water usage and ownership.
“Having this passed in a package showed a lot of bipartisan work,” Spivey told a crowd of attendees at Nelson Mandela Elementary School.
The proposed regulations were shaped in part by Bold Nebraska, an advocacy group focused on eminent domain and clean energy. Jane Kleeb, chair of the Nebraska Democratic Party and founder of Bold Nebraska, said before the bill passed there were “zero laws on the books” to address a boom in data centers.
“If one is coming into the community, we wanted to make sure that there were some basic transparency things in place,” Kleeb said.
Political discussions around data centers heated up in recent months following reporting by the Flatwater Free Press that showed Google is considering a data center in Nebraska that could require more than three times the amount of power the entire city of Lincoln uses at peak demand in the summer.
The Nebraska Legislature recently passed another bill, LB1261, that allows private developers to build and own power plants to serve a large industrial customer, including data centers. That bill was proposed by the governor’s office and celebrated by Gov. Jim Pillen.
“Our state is once again taking a bold and strategic step – one that will create an environment that attracts business and multibillion dollar investment, while legally preserving Nebraska’s unique and consumer-friendly public power model,” Pillen said at the time.
At Thursday’s town hall, McKinney called LB1261 “the bogeyman bill.”
“It’s a bill that the governor pushed through the legislature to allow for data centers to create their own power,” McKinney said. “It’s a bill that I stood on the floor and said this is going to harm our communities.”
