After four years of work to highlight and advocate for greater knowledge of Canada’s first gas-powered automobile, the Fossmobile, Ron Foss says that he feels his work is now more or less complete.
“There’s a couple of things that we’re doing as a family to cap it all off, but we’ve pretty well reached the final step of the project,” Foss said explaining that the tribute / replica Fossmobile that was built to honour and highlight the accomplishment of his grandfather was officially donated the to the Canadian Automotive Museum in Oshawa, Ontario on Dec. 2 and will now be a part of that museum’s collection.
“This isn’t something I was building as a garage trophy, this is something I was doing for Canadians,” Foss said, clarifying that the vehicle was donated and not give as a family loan to serve his “number one goal” of getting more people thinking about this part of Canadian automotive history.
