The two millionth Ford V-8 automobile rolled off the assembly in June 1935.
The sedan embarked on a public relations tour from Dearborn, Michigan to San Diego, California, where it arrived at the California Pacific International Exhibit. The historic car was built under the watchful eyes of Henry and Edsel Ford. Mr. Henry Ford personally waved on the royal blue and gold automobile on its way to the Pacific coast.
