Not Much Has Changed at THF......

Post by George House » Wed Apr 24, 2019 8:20 pm

.....in the last 6 years 😞 Fordson #1 still is without a coil box and the 1914 touring still has 1917-1925 rear axle halves 😞 Oh well, it’ll be Greenfield Village tomorrow and Piquette on Friday...

I don’t know why I turned out this way. My parents were decent people.

You have a number one George? Very cool!
I have a second off the production line of another marque but a first is really neat.

Yesterday I reported on The Henry Ford; today it’ll be Greenfield Village. There’s a 1/4 scale building representing a pre Piquette plant with a docent and the 15,000,000 Ford touring. Here is a picture of the front crossmember of a glossy black frame presented to the public...

Tomorrow - watch out Piquette !!!

As promised, the last venue I visited in Detroit was the Piquette Plant. It blew me away! The antique automobiles were incredible - you can walk around them and even slide on your back under them. Just don’t touch! The docents are witty, very informative, humorous and knowledgeable. Souvenirs are reasonably priced. Quite a contrast to THF. They also have a mock-up mini assembly line. I suggested they donate an excellent T frame to Greenfield Village to replace the above pictured junk and I’ll somehow donate a replacement frame. MTFCI membership even reduces entry tickets to $5. Best entertainment for the money in town !!

Good idea on the shirt George, remember stripes make you look thinner!! :)

I have always like your Henry quote by the way.
