Re: Ford Piquette Avenue - Model T Museum
It's really a great museum. It deserves all the publicity that it gets. A landmark site in the history of the automobile industry.

Re: Ford Piquette Avenue - Model T Museum
Early photo of the Ford Motor Co, Piquette factory that is on display at the Museum. It is definitely a place well worth visiting. |

Re: Ford Piquette Avenue - Model T Museum
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. |

Re: Ford Piquette Avenue - Model T Museum
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. |

Re: Ford Piquette Avenue - Model T Museum
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? |

Re: Ford Piquette Avenue - Model T Museum
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? |

Re: Ford Piquette Avenue - Model T Museum
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. https://vimeo.com/523208789/eceea8389a |
