On June 9th, 1909, 22-year-old Alice Ramsey set out on the journey of lifetime. Accompanied by three female companions, they drove from 1930 Broadway in New York City on an epic transcontinental journey. Forty-one days later, Alice, a Vassar College alumna, would become the first woman to drive across America.

In 2005, Richard Anderson, a Pacific Northwest antique car aficionado, and his 34-year old daughter Emily began preparations to rebuild a 1909 Maxwell DA. Their goal: to complete the car for June 9th, 2009 - the 100-year anniversary of Alice's landmark drive - and drive away from 1930 Broadway with Emily at the helm.

Everything I am
And everything in me
Wants to be the one
You wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
