Re: IML: Anyone "Close Enough" to Dearborn MI?

[James Brown <jimmb1960@xxxxxxxxx>]

I visited the Henry Ford Musem two years ago.

 

He certainly did acknowledge other car makers and tipped his hat to Chrysler

but I did not see a 6 wheel parade phaeton there. If I had, I would have taken

a lot of pics.

 

I do recall a 63/64 Turbine and an early 50s Chrysler but no Imperials or Phaetons.
