My dad loved this place. I remember me and him going here around the last of 1979.

Interesting tour. For 15 years I worked at the Ford Center just across the street from the Ford Museum and I lived just down the street toward Michigan Avenue for a while. I agree with your comments about the "dumbing down" of the exhibits. A lot of my favorite items are still there, but there were many exhibits in smaller rooms that were also very interesting. We actually spent more time in Greenfield Village when we lived there. Thanks for the tour, it was an interesting reminder of a favorite place 50 years ago.

Thank you for this detailed tour of this museum.

Thank you for your time and good views of the museum

In the mid to late 70's I drove a cab and drove the Checker car. Loved that machine. Really had a lot of room and it was built like a tank.

Went their once in the 70s as a kid on a school trip its changed a lot from what I remember still have fond memories for that huge locomotive which I was really impressed by.

I hate to admit that this wonderful museum is about 70 minutes away and I haven’t been there in years it has changed a lot since my last visit I must go soon.

Another great video

very good as usual, thank you for the effort you put into all your videos!

You are correct sir, there were minicomputers and word processors with display screens long before the first Apple computer. Thanks for the "Walk Throughs", I appreciate the value of them as you expressed.

Wonderful too see the C&O Allegheny Steam Engine #1601 again. Thank you for the tour.

Thanks, I was wondering when you were going to do the Henry Ford. I haven't been there in about 20 years and can't believe how much it has changed since then.

Thankyou for a great couple of videos, about this interesting museum. Somewhere I'd love to go, but probably never had chance. Keep up the good work

Once again an excellent walk through video, loved the model train display, as well as the GM EV1 and Chrysler Turbine car, Hope to make it there one day myself!

Very interesting.... thank you very much!

As someone who has a lot of 50-100 year old wood furniture that doesn't want to stay in one piece, I'm stunned that John Hancock's scrawny card table has not disassembled itself into toothpicks after 250 years

Thank Y

It would be interesting if some of this equipment could be shown in operation ,simulated or otherwise.

wow that was so cool i just wise you show the key board be so cool to see ty for video this :)

14:25 Didn't realize that they had CRTs and vacuum tubes back in _1858_ ;-)

This was very helpful from a family history research perspective. I was able to match my great grandfather's 1909 Ford Model T touring car with the red one you walked by in the museum. I had him in one on a photo but was having difficulty matching it to the right brand and model. Your detailed reading of the plaques makes a huge difference! - Also would like to chat with you about your travel series on the train - what is the best way to contact you? Thanks - Chris

They have a little of everything in there. My parents more than likely build the Willys Jeep.

8:32 Some of that noise could have been coming from the Mathematica exhibit- there's a ball/pin cascade, similar to a pachinko machine, that's very noisy.

Thanks, because I cannot get there.... Nyms

At 1:16:02The only thing original on that Limo is the frame.Everything else was changed decades ago.It has no resemblance too it's original look.

Was looking for the Land Speed car "Golden Rod" did I miss it? My friend Mike Cook restored it for the museum and I have a couple pieces from one of the engines.

I thought they had an entire early McDonald's. They used to have more airplanes. There was a North Central Airlines DC 3 at onr time. There was a story about how it landed at the test track and they knocked the wall down to get it in.

Did you ever get the toy version -- if not of this particular tanker (55:11), then maybe one of the many others -- that were sold through Texaco retailers? Since you called out the Mighty Mouse cartoon, I'm guessing we're both "of a certain age." Also 58:10 where did they plug in their scanners? 😆

You missed Lincoln's assassination chair.

38:06 1988 Penske PC-17

He went right passed the operating model railroad. I wish he couls have spent a little more time there.

Was president Eisenhower's bubble top bullet proof

Superb videos, but what happened to Lincoln's assassination chair, exhibits about history of race relations and women's suffrage and most importantly, the Rosa Parks Bus? These important artifacts are all at the Henry Ford!

predictor tv is 1958 not 1948!, I forgive you!

Hate to say this but that "Plum Market" restaurant in the museum is a bit of an over priced scam.
