    Visited the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn yesterday. Amazing. Here’s a picture of “V-8 001” for all you flathead enthusiasts. IMG_4145.jpeg

    Ha, prolly still drips oil too! Cool.

    The museum is awesome and definitely worth a trip. I know "someone" who works at the hq in Dearborn, but for some strange reason I'm not supposed to talk about it.... But here's my kid inside recently.

    That engine was lost for a while. They almost trashed it when they were cleaning out an old storage facility. I wonder if it has the factory cracks?
