Honestly didn't know they kept it in service clear into the Carter Administration. I guess you don't just retire an expensive and specialized asset like that, no matter what its history is."Only a fool fights in a burning house."-Kang

Long time ago. Went to the Ford Museum, Greenfield Village, and took the tour of the Ford Rouge Plant.Originally posted by fasteddy View Post
Like I said, a long time ago. The Ford Rouge Plant tour took us thru the engine assembly plant, the steel mill, and the Ford assembly line.Comment

No, but I've been to the Henry Ford Hospital. Nice facility. My son had to have some body work done there in 2008 while on a college internship.Originally posted by fasteddy View Post"The Internet. Where fools go to feel important" - Sir Charles BarkleyComment

I generally take a motorcycle trip or two every year with a couple of old friends. One of them suggested Detroit, of all places, and cited the Henry Ford Museum as a place to see.A book fell on my head, and I only have my shelf to blame.Comment

The Henry Ford Museum is a must see. I grew up on the west side of Detroit (Warren Ave and Rouge Park {not near the Rouge Plant at all}). My dad and I would go at least once a month during the 60s. It all very professional now but my earlest memories are rows and rows of cars just sitting there with little descriptions. The last time I went, it seemed like there was a 10th of the cars I recall being displayed. One section I recall from my last trip 5 years had Jimmy Clark's Indy winner, the 67 Ford GT Mark 4 (Foyt and Gurney) and one of the two mid engined Mustang prototypes built by Troutman and Barnes for Ford. It has those Lotus style "wobby web" wheels on it. A very pretty "could have been". Also on the Greenfield Village grounds, there was a shed which contain experimental engines that Henry senior built as proof of concepts or just for his interest. One could only look though the dirty windows to see inside, but I do recall a radial engine. Maybe it was from Henry's Flying Fliver project, the Model T for the air minded.Comment

Was there back in the 80's and then again about 10 years ago with my wife. Great museum both on the automotive side as well as for the other offerings.
Is it May yet ?

I've been there many times, as kid and as an adult. I grew near there and later bought a house about 10 minutes away. I think every kid that grew up in metro Detroit has gone there during field trips. It's a really cool place, if you haven't been there, I highly suggest you go there. It's more than just an indoor museum.I like Ren and chevy. I don't care much for djski. That's my 'scientific' poll of one. - -Mannishboy-Comment

Yes, back in '99, terrific place. I liked the old neon signs like the Holiday Inn and McDonald's ones(the McD sign was similar to, but in better condition than, one in Lebanon, IN), and obviously, all the cars.Originally posted by fasteddy View PostComment
