Model T Springtime
05 04 15 - 10:51 .One of the 1st signs of spring in Detroit, is the opening of the old Model T plant on Piquette Ave.
April 1st, was the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant's 2015 Opening Day & we can't wait to get back there again! You won't find a better display of the various types & body styles of the Model T anywhere else!
"The Ford Piquette Avenue Plant is a non-profit corporation dedicated to the preservation of the birthplace of the Model T and the interpretation and celebration of Detroit's automotive heritage and spirit of innovation." True to their mission statement, these hard working volunteers are working to preserve, not restore or modify the building. It's a costly undertaking, but man... is that joint cool to visit!
Be sure to join up with one of the many tours that happen every day & you'll be amazed what you can learn about the early automobile manufacturing & engineering.
The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday, from 10:00 AM until 4:00 PM. ($10 for adults, $8 for seniors, $5 for students, 13 & under free).
