The museum is great and didn’t realize how much additional storage they have.
The comment we don’t have the resources to maintain 300 vehicles in driving condition really highlights Jay Leno’s commitment to the classic car hobby.
I agree to some extent although Jay Leno makes money off his collection which pays for all the resources and he doesn’t have to lift a finger. That’s the perks being a public figure and having those certain connections. This guy and this museum they have to go out of their way to continue the collection and revenue is strictly generated from their museum side to pay the light bill.
It’s a different story for Jay Leno which people fail to understand and realize.
Look at the differences between the two.
One guy knows everything and anything about any of these cars and much more.
Jay Leno is constantly pretending like he knows and acts like he knows when he doesn’t and not to say everyone is supposed to know everything but I’m just not a fan of Jay Leno yet I do appreciate his collection.
@Max Jay works on his own cars and is very knowledgeable, you seem to have sat on a stick.
@Max what ARE you talking about?! Prove your statements. How, exactly, does Mr. Leno make enough money off of his collection to pay for all expenses?!
@Max Yeah, well, uh, you know, that’s just like your opinion man!
Fantastic inside look at some automotive history, thanks Tom!

The Henry Ford Museum and the Greenfield Village are a couple of the best places to visit outside the Smithsonian to view American historic items. Henry Ford with all his faults had a passion for preserving things so that future generations could see where we came from mechanically and culturally,
Im sorry revisionist kid, can you please name all of these “faults” Ford had? Then lets talk about your faults, and how you still changed the world, even with all your “faults”.
Tom, I am sure that when in Detroit you have gone to Edsel and Eleanor’s mansion in Grosse Pointe. The understated opulence takes one’s breath away when you consider that the rest of the world was dirt poor. The house is full of rare antiques and works of art (many of which are reproductions as the originals are too valuable to be on display) Once, when visiting, I drove up to the house via an open gate and was able to park my car at the front entrance to the mansion. My 1966 Mercedes 250se cabriolet looked like it belonged. Great times! There is a picture of my Merc in front of the house on Bring aTrailer June 2019. The old girl now lives in a heated underground garage in Vienna Austria.
Having the cars stored on jack stands is such a nice attention to detail for care to see. Being local and having been to the Henry Ford dozens of times throughout my life, this was super cool to see and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t at least a little jealous to get to walk around though all this stuff. Thanks, Hagerty for bringing us along.

Welcome, Tom Cotter. I had the privilege to walk around the museum one evening after they closed in 2005, my most recent visit. This underground vault is new to me. I love it!

Absolutely loved this. Heaven and history intertwined. Thank you so much for all you do!
C’mon Hagerty, this is one of the best shows you got, it needs to be way longer. So many awesome cars to talk about.
EXACTLY!!! THESE SHOWS ARE TOO SHORT. LOL
Well I’m very upset at Dennis Gauge ( bad spelling) for stopping his my classic car episodes. His show has been reduced to 2 or 3 minute clips. And I told him, this sucks and stop this crap.
@Scratchbuilt Replicas Jesus Christ!
so lucky to have you on board, helping the auto collector hobby with your knowledge.
Thanks Tom!

That Ford Eno-car reminds me a lot of the Ford EXP which was also made at the same time in 82. I had one for a while. It was very basic.
That’s definitely on my bucket list !! I can’t wait to go there one day
By far my favorite episode, not only do you have a Crosley Hot Shot but a Manx dune buggy and Edsel Fords personal Lincoln the list goes on and on. You can tell he loves his job. I spoke to him when we were there last and didn’t realize who he was. Wow great episode, thank you.
Wow, I always thought they’d have some stuff hidden away, what dream it is to see. Amazing!
