It's really a great museum. It deserves all the publicity that it gets. A landmark site in the history of the automobile industry.

Early photo of the Ford Motor Co, Piquette factory that is on display at the Museum. It is definitely a place well worth visiting.

Compare this picture, taken in 2018 with the one above, and you will that hardly anything has changed.
Fantastic Museum to check out.

Another photo of the Old Ford Piquette Avenue Factory, now the Model T Museum, on the corner of Piquette Ave and Beaubien Blvd, Detroit. It is a very long building, as you can see in this photo.

Henry Ford's Office preserved - Piquette Ave Building, Detroit.
If you ever get the opportunity of visiting this early Ford Factory, you will not be disappointed.

How come that so few Model T guys are looking at this Tread?
I would have thought that it would have been a popular one?

Two different Ford Model T Tourings on display at the Piquette Ave Ford Museum.
Notice that this pair have regular Black Tyres, not White like the one shown earlier?

1912 Ford Model T Town Car on display at the Ford Piquette Avenue Museum.
This early Ford also has the all white tyres. What a great place to visit.

Early model Fords on display at the Ford Piquette Ave Museum.
It is a fantastic place to visit when you are in the Detroit area.

There seems to be a slight problem with the Video Link shown in Post 18. Try this one
It deals with the restoration of the floor beams in the Piquette Plant.
A very interesting short video to watch.
