Big New Model A Museum in Florida

[Bruce Adams]

For those who don't know about the new ELLIOTT MUSEUM on Hutchinson Island near Stuart Florida an hour north of Palm Beach there are about 100 Model A's with most all body styles and many commercial body types. There is a stack of cars on racks three high and maybe fifteen wide with a robotic system to bring them to you and rotate them in front of you in the museum. I had the pleasure of being a volunteer worker there, cleaning up a Hearse, dump truck, Post Office Truck, Buggatti, Stanley Steamer, 1903 Cadillac and such. The museum will reopen MArch 3 following a completer rebuilding and installation of the display system.
Following is a link and some photos I took.

WOW...100 Model A's or 100 cars including Model A's?

Never the less...that is great.

Now for the west coast...a Model A museum here?

The FORD Portland (OREGON) Assembly Plant would be a great place to start.

There is also the FORD Oklahoma City Assembly Plant that is vacant just waiting for another FORD person to put a museum there...amigin...A FORD museum in one of the original FORD assembly plants...wish I had deep, DEEP pockets!

Thanks for sharing Bruce!

Bruce, thanks for posting this. I have added this to my bucket list since I am not that far away from Stuart.

From the website, it sounds like the Model A component consists of a set of 55 trucks!

Bruce, I sold my red AA stake truck 20 years ago to a fellow in Florida then lost track of it. At the time he told me he had 20 commerical As. I think you may have a picture of it, would you check for me?
Thanks, Rainmaker Ron
