What are the holidays without a punch bowl? Edsel Ford II continued his search for the Punch Bowl Trophy won by his great grandfather Henry in 1901 in a race that helped launch the Ford Motor Co. On Oct. 10 of that year, Ford challenged Alexander Winton to a race in suburban Detroit and won it. While the cash prize of $10,000 helped the struggling automaker, now, lost to history is the punch bowl trophy designed by Winton. The Ford heir visited the Madison Avenue Sports Car Driving and Chowder Society in his quest to spread the word about the trophy and perhaps generate the necessary leads he needs to recover this legacy.
