Agreed, it is an amazing place, Henri. What's quite shocking as well is a Dearborn native I worked with told me once upon a time you could freely sit in Lincoln's assassination chair, before it was locked behind glass - that's the reason for most of the wear and tear on it.
Amazing to see some of the planes, trains and everything else there - the Lotus 38 and GT40 MK4 being a highlight for me though.
When I knew that I was going to have a look over there I looked up if the 1908 Vandebilt Cup winning Locomoblie was on display and I felt so sad it was said not to be.
But website maintanance was poor at that time I suppose because when I was there a few days later it was on show! That was a winner for me.I love those Edwardian Era cars.
And I was told about a monstrous locomotive on display over there as well. Now the thing is that in the St Louis Transportation Museum I have seen and been up&into a "Big Boy" and once you have seen one of those you're not impressed at first if someone tells you you're gonna see a big Locomotive.
But I was impressed with the Henry Ford Big Locomotive....
I've had the fortune to see the Lotus 38 at Indy on two occasions so that was not so much of a thing for me anymore. But seeing the wrecked remains of McLaren M16-3....
There's a lot about bad talks about Salt Walther but that he ever had an indycar career after 1973? That man had guts!
I must also admit that I was much taken with the "With liberty and justice for all" Expo, including the Rosa Parks bus. I had definitely not expected any such kind of exposition in a museum carying the name of a person about who we probably not should mention some of his lesser character habits over here as being off topic.
