Sweepstakes is a critical part of the history of the Blue Oval. Henry Ford led design and building of the car in 1901 and won a 10-mile race against Alexander Winton in the 96-inch-wheelbase car with a two-speed manual transmission.

Bennie Belcher, a long-time machinist at the Woods’ shop, cut the base metal pieces for the car parts, giving Wood more time for the finer detail work.
