Henry Ford Museum

The Henry Ford Museum is one of the most incredible and interesting places in Detroit. This is a huge museum covering an area of ​​about five hectares. It displays a wide variety of cars and other vehicles in the history of the Ford automobile enterprise.

For example, the museum has the very first car created by Ford in 1896. The only similarity of a retro car with a modern analog is the presence of four wheels. Otherwise, it is completely different from the cars that we currently use.

The collection of cars used by the presidents of the United States of America at different times is especially interesting. So, there are the original cars in which Ronald Reagan, Franklin Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy sat. By the way, the car in which John F. Kennedy was killed in Dallas, is in this museum. Such an unexpected connection with American history! However, no traces of the crime can be found on the car, since it was sent for repair and was repainted immediately after the murder. Later, this car was used by Presidents Johnson, Nixon, Ford, and Carter. It is amazing how they were not afraid or disdained to sit in the car where a man was killed!

Some vintage cars are presented very curiously: the car is disassembled into parts that are suspended over each other in the places of their connection. It is very interesting to look at. You never think about how many parts are in your car.

There is also a huge collection of racing cars. They are incredible: small, narrow, but very fast. You look at them and wonder: how can an adult fit in there?

The museum exhibits a very unusual sample - a car for setting speed records on salt lakes. It resembles a small submarine.
