The
transportation collection of The Henry Ford is among the most comprehensive
and varied in the country. Its great strength is road transportation.
Over 200 automobiles and trucks represent nearly every major
technological, styling, or marketing development between 1865 and
1984. These are complemented by a similar number and diversity
of horsedrawn vehicles, bicycles, and motorcycles.
The
railroad collection is much smaller, but is anchored by an outstanding
group of eleven steam locomotives. Finally, a group of
civilian aircraft document the rich and colorful history of
flight between the two World Wars, the so-called "Golden
Age of Aviation."
