Default Re: Edison's Model A picture from Gilmore Museum

one more bit of info about the #1 phaeton. When I was a youth, in the 50"s, the #1 engine sat is the Henry Ford Museum, on an engine stand, along with the picture of Henry stamping the engine. The phaeton body was displayed elsewhere in the museum. Later,about 1982, as a then member of the Motor Cities Chapter, I with 4 or 5 other members, volunteered to replace the #1 engine into the #1 phaeton, as requested by the museum. This was done on a Sat AM. I do not remember the motor # of the engine that was in the #1 phaeton when we made the swap. The Motor Cities Chapter was at the time meeting in the museum property and the club and the museum had a relationship, thus the request. Jerry
