I just checked the THF website a few minutes ago and it still says the news is "coming soon". Maybe they will post it tomorrow.

The Henry ford just sent me an e-mail with the registration info. I do not have to hunt all over their website to find it. Better go take some pictures of my car. I think they want shots from all 4 sides.

I just got my application in. After I filled it out I clicked Submit and nothing happened. I sent an email to THF and within a few minutes I received a phone call from a staff member who said they had my application but somehow the website got hung up on the last page. She took my last page info by phone. I was impressed by the quick response.

You simply have to go online or phone them and purchase tickets. The tickets are single day passes. Trust me - you WON'T regret going!

I got an email as well, with a link to register... So I did, within about 5 minutes!

Here's the link:

http://ipost.thehenryford.org/rd/9z2zq4 ... 6ob1cdh2bs

Registration ends Aug 13th... So probably won't get confirmation (or rejection) that you're accepted until sometime after that..??

Best of luck!

You will be notified by email by the third week of August if your vehicle has been accepted or denied.

That's the official word, but in 2019 I got my notice considerably ahead of the official time.

We would love to take our '21 Touring but can't. I am looking forward to the photos and GOOD videos though. I hope someone takes some videos from street side. In car videos are not very interesting, looking at the back of the same car for the entire vid is pretty boring. HINT, HINT.

Be sure to make the Henry Ford Museum while Your at OCF if You haven't been. its across the street so to speak. and Rouge River assembly plant tour. Fords Garage Restaurant in Dearborn is a good place to eat with two model As on lifts behind the Bar. old time gas station with alarm bell hose running across driveway and much more. COOL Place to eat. take a extra day or two and see it all while Your there.

It's not totally nearby (within 30 miles, I'd say), but Detroit Greenfield campground in Ypsilanti seems to be a popular choice with my out of town friends who've stayed there.

It's down I-94 from Dearborn.

This is such awesome news- I missed all my T buddies last year.

Steve- if you choose to stay with us (the invitation is always open), note that we redid Riley's room, and the squeaky bed is gone. ;)

Hope to see you all there!

No T this year, but signed up the 23 Olds. Couldn't get into the Motor Muster this year at the Village as they limited the number of people each day, so be sure to buy tickets early if they do the same thing for OCF. I agree with others that it will be nice to see fellow T folks again.
