I visited the Henry Ford 2 years ago, before the remodeling. It is an amazing collection, and not just of automobiles. It has pretty much the entire history of transportation, of American industrialization, and odd things like the chair Abraham Lincoln was sitting in when he was assassinated.

And the Dymaxion house and Oscar Mayer Weinermobile!

Do they have the letters Henry Ford wrote to Hitler telling him how much he admired him, from the late 30's

Yeah I was there last year and the car section was being redone.
If you are in Detroit you need to see it, it is not only cars but any machinery, trains, planes, tractors, guns even tools and engines.

There are tours of the famous Rouge Plant available too, you get to see the F150 production line.

Then outside is a historical village with Henry's actual childhood house, the Wright Brothers actual house and bicycle shop and othe famous buildings, a model of Thomas Edisons workshop including some of his inventions and ther are model T's putting around the streets.

They might have his letters but I didn't see them, only had one day.
