Model "999"
In a newly designed car, Ford gave an exhibition on the ice of Lake_Saint_Clair_(North_America), driving 1 mile (1.6 km) in 39.4 seconds, setting a new Land_speed_recordat 91.3 miles per hour (147.0 km/h). Convinced by this success, the race driver Barney_Oldfield, who named this new Ford model "999" in honor of a racing locomotive of the day, took the car around the country, making the Ford brand known throughout the United States. Ford also was one of the early backers of the Indianapolis_500.
