Planes, Trains, and Automobiles


A big theme of the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI is old stuff. Namely in transportation, but lots of other stuff, too... like kitchen supplies, furniture, wood burning stoves, guns, etc. Here are some of the things I thought were interesting. I'm gonna do one more post on it..things that don't fall into the trains, planes, and automobile category. (And yes, that's the original.... Weinermobile!)

Just think...now you can check it off your bucket list!

1st plane to the North Pole

FDR's car


Kennedy's car. THE car.

The original Weinermobile.. THAT's awesome!

Teddy's carriage looks strangely small.

Seems an interestn place.

It IS pretty interesting. I think you'd like it. Of course you were most impressed by the Weinermobile, so....

You sure that it's THE car?

hada good b-day so far. Got up early & went to tractor Supply Co, love that place. Then this afternoon wife & kiddos had a cake for me (Yeah, I let them have SOME) and got my gift, The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus (every episode of their tv series). Pretty awesome! We watched the first which had the funniest joke ever told. not sure what it is tho as it was told in German :)

Oops. Just asked you about it on the other thread. Ignore.

Fun gift! Mmmm...cake.

Doesn't everyone love the tractor supply company?
Weirdo.

"Doesn't everyone love the tractor supply company?"

Actually, I thought it tied in well w/ this thread.

Linda said...

Good point. There was lotsa John Deere stuff there. Reeeally old stuff, tho.

Hey, happy (belated) B-Day Reck! Sounds like you hada great day.

I think we know which vehicle there I'm most impressed with.

That's why I took the pic, Nestor!
