Default Ford Museum Sale?

Does the Ford Museum ever have a sale of parts or vehicles that are donated?

I think they do, it would be best to contact them during business hours to get the most accurate information.

34fordy,

Yes, the Early Ford V-8 Museum sells vehicles. You can see their inventory at their Museum Motors webstite at https://www.museumselectmotors.com/.

They also sell parts at the swap meets they host.

Depend on what museum your talking about, “The Henry Ford” in Dearborn has only had a couple of auctions in the last several decades.

Thanx Ken,
The reason I asked was mainly for a place to donate small parts. I thought that if they do indeed have swap meets it would be a way to get parts to folks restoring (if there are such folks) and maybe provide a little contribution. As I watch the swap meet sections it seems that prewar parts do not seem to be selling well. The available project cars and trucks seem to be few in number and also the folks interested in restoration are quite few in number also.

I've donated small early Ford V8 parts to the Early Ford V8 Museum in Auburn, IN. They sell the parts to help raise money for the museum - a worthwhile cause.
