My children, who were young when we visited with them, loved the carousel and the steamboat.
Unfortunately, they don't seem to be running the steam boat any more. This summer, when I asked one of their "kids" {young employees at the village} about it I got a rather puzzled answer, which shortened and paraphrased, amounted to "They haven't run it in awhile, I guess; I think maintenance on it, plus the steam locomotives, just became too much".

What wonderful places Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village are. It makes one realize the vision that Ford had to save that period of history. As a kid, my favorites were #1601, the Allegheny Steam Locomotive in the museum, and Gog and Magog and the re-creation of Edison's Menlo Park laboratory in the Village. My children, who were young when we visited with them, loved the carousel and the steamboat.

I've always wanted to be able to see over the walls of the proving grounds just around the corner on Outer Drive.

It is a 1970 Spitfire Ashley GT
A semi fixed hardtop, picture taken at Ashley's works in London.
The pickup was sold to a buyer in Sweden.


That is a very interesting car - never seen one in North America. I first thought it was a TVR (from the rear), but didn't look quite right. I'm glad you identified it. Having owned a Spitfire, I should have noticed the trim over the seam on the top of the fenders where they are joined, which I never noticed on other British cars.

Enzo was a hard headed old school kind of guy but he did say the E-Type was the most beautiful road car ever built


The comendentore was correct.

I considered buying a 65 E-type in the mid 70s and now wish I had. I took it on a test drive, and it not only overheated (which was common on early Es), but scared the hell out of me. I got it up to just over a hundred briefly on our local beltline, came up on traffic and stood on the brakes with very little effect. Knowing the procedure involved in redoing the rear brakes (which was a nightmare), I turned it down. Mistake.

The brands sold by the National Tea Company, a food store chain back in the forties and 50's?

I'm having a major problem emailing photos at the moment but...1968 340c.i. Formula S, fastback Barracuda that would turn the quarter through the mufflers on street tires at 14 flat, at a hundred at Kinston, N.C. dragstrip when I was stationed at Seymour Johnson AFB.
