George Foote Foss built the first successful gas-powered car in Canada in 1897 and called it the Fossmobile. Over 125 years later the Foss family is still passionate about sharing their heritage and celebrating their place in automotive history. We will meet Ron Foss (via Zoom), George’s grandson, as he shares the story of reverse engineering the original Fossmobile from photographs to create a working scale model which now lives in the Canadian Automotive Museum. There will be a 45-50 minute presentation from Ron and then a Q&A. The Fossmobile story is part of our latest travelling exhibit called Exit the Horse: The Early Years of Canadian Motoring that will be on display until April 30^th.

There is no cost to attend this event, and if you would like to join via Zoom, please contact the Museum for more information – 306-682-5226, info@humboldtmuseum.ca.
