IMPM alumnus remakes Canada’s first gas-powered car
Ron Foss (IMPM’99) has rallied a team of tradespeople and vintage automobile experts to recreate the first gas-powered car in Canada, the ‘Fossmobile.’ In the late 1800s, Foss’s grandfather, George Foote Foss, was a bike mechanic and blacksmith in Sherbrooke, Quebec, who began constructing the Fossmobile to see if he could improve upon the electric car he encountered on a trip to Boston. If all goes as planned, his grandson will reimagine the Fossmobile in time for its 125th anniversary next year.
