    The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI has the vehicles and camping rigs from this trip on display - well worth a visit if you're in the area. Amazing museum.

    The history of FoMoCo and the US auto industry is fascinating...

    To me at least. Read Henry and Edsel or Edsel Ford and E.T. Gregorie. A couple of wonderful historical books that give one a real glimpse into the Ford family and the blind tyranny of Henry Ford's genius.

    The PBS/American Experience documentary on Ford is not to be missed...
