Ford may be optimistic about their future, but they are certainly taking the time to remember their past.

An article with the Detroit Free Press reports that, “A museum celebrating the Ford Model A is planned for southern Michigan that will be housed in a building designed to resemble one of the automaker’s old dealerships.”

The museum will be built in a town called Hickory Corners, which is about 100 miles west of Detroit. The building is estimated to cost about $1.6 million. The Model A Ford Foundation, a nonprofit, will lead the effort to raise the money for the construction.

Apparently, the museum is not only to display the old Ford models, but will exist as a walk through Ford’s history. The executive director of the Model A Ford Foundation claims, “It will take you on a journey through the Model A years – the end of the Roaring ‘20s, the stock market crash in ’29.”

Our auto shipping companies are interested to see the result of the effort.
