Henry Ford Museum "ENGINES EXPOSED"

[Rick Byrnes]

From now till the end of the month, Henry Ford Museum has an event where 50 vehicles have "exposed engines"  or Hoods up....
I spent a lot of time yesterday just roaming around and need to share.

When the Goldenrod was restored by Mike Cook and company, and put on display at the museum, I really thought it had no engines.  Well, was I mistaken....
There is at least TWO there, and being able to see the real beauty under the skin is just so nice....
So,  here is a series of photos.

With any of these if anyone would like high resolution photos, plz let me know...

And the rest of my photos.
Thanks you to the museum for preserving machines like Goldenrod and the Beatty tank, and thanks to Mike Cook and all that helped restore this wonderful machine.  It was so nice to see the "real beauty", under the skin......

I do have more in high res, but they were very close to these views.  It is hard to get good photos with typical crowd barriers.

Spent some time a few years back, at Meadowbrook when Chrysler was the event sponsor, Looking the Goldenrod over. Still one of the most impressive jobs of packaging I`ve seen.( Rick, You going to be at Cobo??) J.B.

Rick,

there were all the years all four engines in - only that this four engines are not the original which were in the car when he set the record in 1965.

This four engines was loaned and was given back after the record was set. The once which are now in are the same type (from the outside).
