Trip to the Henry Ford Museum.

Since I am broke down in Michigan, was able to use time to go pay a visit to the Henry Ford Musuem in Dearborn. Many thanks to Neill's auto service and RRcollison repair here in Tecumseh. RRcollison is letting me use a loaner car for no charge!

Many pics, but start with the X.

Cool, thanks for sharing! If you have more time checkout the F150 assembly line tour at the plant. My parents have done it twice now and they said it was definately worth visiting

It's been a looong time since I was there with my parents. Probably about 40 years ago

Can't say I like what Ford has to say about the Explorer on the plaque though

Awesome pics. Thanks for posting them.

Here's one for you. Saw it the other day and immediately thought of you! Sorry about the GMC badge on the tailgate.

I think it was just driving before "roading" was even invented!

Great shots.

Thanks Froader, yepper, the info card in front of the vehicle was describing the conditions of early driving on "roads" in the early days.
