So the wheels are actually turning one the cars?? That is too cool!!

Re: Fords garage bar in Cape Coral
 

That is very cool! Looks like they sliced the roofs on the A's to accommodate the ceiling of the building, but wow!

We were there last spring and the food was good but a little pricey but is a cool place for us model a nuts. It is very close to the Ford, Edison winter home in Fort Meyers. Just around the corner is the Firestone bar which is also real nice and a whole lot warmer than Michigan. For napkins the Ford bar uses shop towels with hose clamps. If you are in that area it is at least worth a visit and a beer.

Thanks for sharing - Never been to that part of Florida, now I have a reason to go there!

Edit:
Wow - just clicked on the second link - thanks again! For anyone who hasn't done that yet - it opens up a virtual tour of the place which lets you explore all around - well worth the "visit"

Man, I could spend all day at this bar!

Re: Fords garage bar in Cape Coral
 

I will be vacationing down that way in March and will be sure to stop by.
Thank you for posting or I never would have known that it was there!
-9 and sunny in sunny Minneapolis.

I wonder if oil drips on your head as you have a beer.

Model A's leak???? :)

Re: Fords garage bar in Cape Coral
 

They have 3 of these in the Ft. Meyers area. I was down their last week visiting my parents and went to 2 of the 3. Very cool place. All of the A's look ok from a distance but you get up close and they are pretty rough, and are not very "accurate", but they average guy would not even notice that!! The sinks in the bathrooms are tires with a sink in the middle, and the facuet is a gas pump nozzle.

Do they have Ford Motor Company's permission? I wonder if there is any problem with trademark infringement. They are using Ford trademarks clearly for their own commercial use. Maybe they have to pay royalties.
Someone certainly could not do this with a Walt Disney theme without express permission.
Disney lawyers are known for crushing anyone like a bug who tries it.
Interestingly in the model railroad industry, manufacturers of toy trains have been using railroad trademarks so long without paying that the railroads have lost the right to enforce them.

BTW I own about 1 millionth of the Ford company (stock)

I was wondering the same 1967Ford.

Neat looking place would like to stop sometime.

Funny thing, A child care center had the Disney characters on the walls of the center. Disney found out are had papers served to stop and over paint the pictures. Once it made the local papers, Universal Studios sent their animators to the center and painted all their cartoon characters free of charge. Check and mate!

The Edison Ford Car Show starts on Feb 1st. We have a Palm Beach A's Club Tour from Jupiter/Palm Beach Gardens to Ft Myers for the Car Show. We'll just have to take this in. Wonder if oil still drips from their A's. Hope to meet some Ford Barners at the show.
