One highlight of the exhibit is an a excellent short film on the history of car culture in America.
As you begin (or end) your walk through you can stop and eat at a dinner from the late 1940s!
As you go down a walk way and change levels, this 1955 Chevy looks right at you!

Neon signs are used very effectively throughout this exhibit.

Hi folks -- I just got back from the Henry Ford and wanted to post a few photos. Much more on this exhibit and other photos will shortly follow. My compliments to Bob Casey and his staff for a terrific effort!
This blog will expand on themes and topics first mentioned in my book, "The Automobile and American Life." I hope to comment on recent developments in the automobile industry, reviews of my readings on the history of the automobile, drafts of my new work, contributions from friends, descriptions of the museums and car shows I attend and anything else relevant.
