The museum is great and didn’t realize how much additional storage they have. The comment we don’t have the resources to maintain 300 vehicles in driving condition really highlights Jay Leno’s commitment to the classic car hobby.

@maxboya Год назад

I agree to some extent although Jay Leno makes money off his collection which pays for all the resources and he doesn’t have to lift a finger. That’s the perks being a public figure and having those certain connections. This guy and this museum they have to go out of their way to continue the collection and revenue is strictly generated from their museum side to pay the light bill. It’s a different story for Jay Leno which people fail to understand and realize. Look at the differences between the two. One guy knows everything and anything about any of these cars and much more. Jay Leno is constantly pretending like he knows and acts like he knows when he doesn’t and not to say everyone is supposed to know everything but I’m just not a fan of Jay Leno yet I do appreciate his collection.

Having the cars stored on jack stands is such a nice attention to detail for care to see. Being local and having been to the Henry Ford dozens of times throughout my life, this was super cool to see and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least a little jealous to get to walk around though all this stuff. Thanks, Hagerty for bringing us along.

I worked on the team that "built" the Ford GT cut-away car. It was one of the hardest things I did during my 35 year career in prototype. I also worked on the 2005 Mustang cut-away. Each car was completely disassembled, cut, de-burred, polished and reassembled. (Plus many other steps). In the beginning we thought that we were going to have to cut two cars in half to make one cut-away car. Which in fact, may have been easier.

The Henry Ford Museum and the Greenfield Village are a couple of the best places to visit outside the Smithsonian to view American historic items. Henry Ford with all his faults had a passion for preserving things so that future generations could see where we came from mechanically and culturally,

@dezznutz3743 Год назад

Im sorry revisionist kid, can you please name all of these "faults" Ford had? Then lets talk about your faults, and how you still changed the world, even with all your "faults".

@guillemlluciagris5072 Год назад

@@dezznutz3743 you can be an incredible inventor and visionary and still have faults. For example, I think we can consider being anti-union to be a fault, and that is one of the "nicest" faults he had. I don't know, maybe his experiment in Brazil was messed up. He was a revolutionary, but by no means was an exemplary person. I mean even they talk about the faults in this museum, and even at the Rouge factory tour. You are the revisionist by claiming Henry Ford had to faults.

I’ve been to this iconic museum several times and so many other transport focused museums like it. Even then, this was like brief introduction. I would watch a 90 min video with access like this (or a series shorter ones if necessary for sponsors) of JUST these “vaults”.

@charlestaylor8832 Год назад

I have to share my Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village story. I grew up near the Museum so we visited a lot with school and family trips. In the early 70’s there was a interesting car stored in the Firestone barn at the Village. It was Ford GT Mark IV that won LeMans in 67. I would just stare admiring that car. Every one else used to walk by obvious to the significance of it. What a memory.

@panaceiasuberes6464 Год назад

Jay Leno's Garage seems like a superior place... everything in working condition.

@MuseumGoon Год назад

Jay's Garage has a different perspective as well as private funding to have the resources. Not everything needs to run either, especially if it has social historical value or untampered. It provides automotive historians a reference at original surfaces and manufacture.

Wonderful video for another car guy. Will be 75 in less than a week, grew up in the 50's & 60's, graduated high school in '66. Golden age of fast American cars. Big V8's in mid-sized bodies & a highschool kid could sack groceries for three years and buy a new Mopar, GTO or HiPo Mustang fastback right off the lot. Our school parking lot held what today would likely be a couple of million dollars worth of Chevelles, 442's, 383 & 413 Plymouths & Dodges, a '62 Ford 406, a '66 Barracuda with an acre of rear glass & that square single exhaust indicating a heated up 273 ci, several GTO;s (at least four I can think of), Pam G's Silver 66 Bonnevile convertible with those fiinned aluminim wheels and a 421, 260 ci Falcons with 4-barrels, duals & a 4-speed (chased a friend & his date 3/4 of the way to Claude, TX in one). Not to mention the '55 Fords with cammed 292's, '56 & '57 Chevy's with hopped up 265 & 283 V8's.... Loved this tour and the Maine Museum. After high school I had a Healy 100/4, complete with wire wheels and laydown windscreen. My social life improved when I bought it - for $400 with new paint on an unmolested body. Good times.

@giovanni4070 Год назад

Tom, I am sure that when in Detroit you have gone to Edsel and Eleanor's mansion in Grosse Pointe. The understated opulence takes one's breath away when you consider that the rest of the world was dirt poor. The house is full of rare antiques and works of art (many of which are reproductions as the originals are too valuable to be on display) Once, when visiting, I drove up to the house via an open gate and was able to park my car at the front entrance to the mansion. My 1966 Mercedes 250se cabriolet looked like it belonged. Great times! There is a picture of my Merc in front of the house on Bring aTrailer June 2019. The old girl now lives in a heated underground garage in Vienna Austria.
