The Lincoln Motor Court: A masterclass in American exceptionalism
MANNS CHOICE, Pennsylvania — In January of 1941, hundreds of businessmen from communities all along the 7 miles of the Lincoln Highway that stretched from Everett to the top of Tull’s Hill met at the Ford Bedford Inn. They discussed plans for improving a highway that was first paved and modernized in 1919.Edmund S. Shuck, the president of the Pennsylvania Lincoln Highway Association, warned that the new “streamlined” Pennsylvania Turnpike would cost the state a $200,000 annual loss in business, depreciate property values, and create roughly $10,000,000 in state taxes as tourist spending shifted to the new road.
