- Welcome everyone to Ed's Auto Reviews documentary about my trip to the United States! This is just an overview of the many automotive museums and attractions I visited, but there is so much more to come!
After a quick city trip to Chicago I drove down to Detroit, the Motor City. In Motown I peeked inside the GM Heritage Center, met up with Rare Classic Cars, and visited The Henry Ford and Greenfield Village!
I then flew to Los Angeles to soak up some sun, dive deep into the Vault at the Petersen Museum and took a look at local car culture.

When you DO eventually come back to the US, there are a couple of car museums you NEED to visit, the first one is the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY where you take in the history and future of the Corvette and it’s biggest champion Zora Arkus-Duntov. (And the museum is right next door to the assembly plant where the corvette is made!) The second museum is the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville, TN. Lane is an absolute treasure trove of the “weirder” side of automotive history where you’ll find European microcars, alternative fuel vehicles, military vehicles, motorcycles, one off concept vehicles, and other curiosities!
Zora Arkus-Duntov!! Of course he should visit Jay Leno and have him Explain why he put a (real) WW2 Rolls Royce Spitfire aircraft engine in a Rolls Royce...car. (total american Hot Rod!!)
I saw (heard) it at Laguna Seca/Pebble Beach.
@@leonb2637 Don't know if I am the First to say: The new rear engine Corvette makes every other Vette... Obsolete
@@sumgai2585 And, Sum Gai...let me agree with you; and also say that I feel that Corvette 'obsoleted' ITSELF by: FINALLY evolving into Pontiac Fiero's INTENDED concept and design.
Thanks a Bunch, GM. 🙄
Of all of the car museums I've visited, lane motor museum in nashville was the most memorable the definitely have the weirdest collection out there
@@sumgai2585 it was actually Zora’s full intention that one day the Corvette would be mid-engined, and in 2020 they finally realized his dream.
Hi, Ed! On behalf of all Americans, I sincerely thank you for the positive spin you gave our urban blight 😀👍
I wonder if there are equivalents in Europe... successful cities that tuned into piles of rubble and garbage (without being bombed by the Allies).
@@zelphx Nazis being bombed *biggest ww2 tragedy*
@@m1karus You missed something in History class.
@@zelphx Wallonia in Belgium has been likened to Detroit. I have no idea how accurate that is.
@@zelphx For sure, the old industrial areas in the North of England, North of France and Belgium and definitely old communist bloc Eastern Europe. Germany must have some too even though Germany remains the industrial powerhouse of Europe. Europe so far is better at renewal than the US, though I suspect over the next few decades the American Midwest will start to come back in a pretty big way.
Ed, not only is your content interesting but I think it's better than a lot of commercially produced programs on TV. It's that well produced.
100% from day 1. I miss the old ear face pic though. Was funny
Agreed. Ed puts together well polished and researched vids. I liked the jazz and blues selections for the background music on this one too.
And they're also short & sweet. Not produced by a person who is just in love with his own voice.
Im making his face pregnant first
@@sergioleone3583 Me too!! They are very fitting to the content.
By far some of the best automotive content on you tube. I can say with a fair amount of certainty, America loves you Ed.
Ed, what a fantastic video. I'm so glad you and your girlfriend had a great experience looking at cars in Detroit, Los Angeles and Chicago. Thanks for sharing your trip with us.
Hi Ed! WOW!! You actually made our country look GOOD. It's gotten to the point where most of US don't like it here anymore....
You've really shined a light on this place.
Always a good day when you upload, Ed!
Thanks for inviting us to your vacation, it was really fun!
Fantastic vid and thanks for showing the good side of Detroit. 🚗🥇🚙
Ed, I love your videos …being German I have road-tripped 32 out of 50 states and really enjoyed it. Now stuck in China, but your video made me remember the “free world” and how awesome it is 😊
The Petersen Museum is amazing. I live in San Diego and have only been once. It’s time I go back. It also looks as if I need to visit Detroit as I’ve yet to go. Thanks, your videos are great.
I recently went to Newport and made the trek up to LA to visit the Peterson... Twice.
Just go to the end of the Santa Monica Pier. Trails End.
Greetings from Yuma
It's probably been at least 30 years since I've been to the Henry Ford Museum watching this video reminded me of what I've been missing
@@davidszelinski5021 I was there in 1967. Henry Ford was quoted as saying "History is Bunk " after much backlash he did the Dearborn Museum.
Probably turning over in his GRAVE.
Oh man. Listening to KHJ brought a lot of memories back. I was born and lived in the LA area until high school, and spent large chunks of every summer in LA proper. I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip.
Next time, you need to do Route 66... 👍
Once I went to the end of the Santa Monica Pier. Trails End.
"It winds from Chicago to....
@@sumgai2585 Oh yeah. I live in Albuquerque now; 66 runs through town. Next summer, I aim to take a motorcycle trip - 4 days out, 4 days back on it.
@@AaronSpielman "sidetrack adventures" CZcams channel has some content. You gotta post some things new yerself.
@@sumgai2585 I might; my video editing skills suck though.
I'm glad that you had a chance to hook up with Adam. He is truly a god of malaise-era Americana.
The red car on 31:12 that has the ferrari badge but isn't in production is from the creator named Luigi Colani. Impressive vehicles he did...
Two things about driving in the USA:
1) You're still _supposed_ to move over to the right when you've finished overtaking slower traffic on highways, it's just that nobody does. Similarly, you're _supposed_ to move over to the left when you see a car attempting to merge onto the highway ahead of you, but nobody does. What generally works best is just to stay in the furthest *right* lane at all times, which will usually be the fastest-moving lane during times of low volume but still steady traffic. Then if somebody wants to merge in via "your" lane you ignore them until the last possible instant, at which point either they will chicken out and let you zip past, or you will slam on your brakes to avoid rear-ending them and then tailgate until they move over to the left where slow traffic isn't supposed to go but always is.
2) You committed a cardinal sin of American driving at the 7:36 mark. Those things you're accustomed to from European driving called "turn signals" are never to be used in the United States, unless they are left on for several miles (preferably, until you actually make the turn you've been signaling for the past half hour). My apologies if your right turn signal had in fact been on since you left the first museum.
Bonus fact: The "Los Angeles Expressway" is a cruel joke.
Ya know, Ed... You were within a few feet (exaggeration) of Leno's garage. I'm sure that he'd have let you wander around and drool on his collection, as well. Lol. It seems to be the kind of thing that he'd go for. Great video, brother. I've never been so jealous of and happy for someone. Jerk. Love ya! -Vic
Hope you come back, so much more to see,
Ed, excellent video. I love your passion for American cars and it shows in your videos. I am glad that you enjoyed your time in the USA and I hope that you can visit sometime again in the future. I also look forward to future videos of your trip with some in depth views on the cars you have seen and the museums you've visited. Keep it up.
This was wonderful! So glad you came and enjoyed your U.S. trip, and your production quality and content are excellent.
Hey Ed, thanks for sharing this great video highlighting your trip to America. I live in Southern California & have been to the Petersen Museum several times. It's a fascinating place & I'm glad that you got to experience it along with some of the fun things that Los Angeles has to offer!!! I look forward to seeing your future videos chronicling your trip!!! 👍👍😁
What a wonderful travelogue, Ed1 You hit quite a few great spots on your journey, and as a native (Northern) Californian, I appreciated your perspective. I hope to see more of these travelogues in the future.
It's sad that you were in Michigan and didn't see the Gilmore Car Museum. My personal favorite.
this show is awesome
Great video Ed! really enjoyed your adventure!
Wunderbar! This was travelling without moving for me. Very good choice of background music. Thanks Ed and greetings from Germany.
Excellent Ed , your videos are better than any car programme I've seen on British television for decades.
I loved the KHJ air check little nugget. Well done video, Ed!
cool! I arrived on time for the video premiere >:3
Great episode!
Thanks for the kind words about our country. It seems like you enjoyed your stay here.
Peace and happiness to you.
Yes!
I was blown away. You really excel at this sort of video story telling. I normally watch your videos for the humor and questionable production values and of course, the cars. This video was quite a step up and outside of my expectations. Well done! Just excellent. Thanks for all the great content!
Amazing effort and great music choices! Thank you for this! ❤
Class video Ed! Loved the Wiener mobile! Would love to rock up to my Mum’s in that! 🤪
Ed in heaven... We love the content. Very nice treatment of Chicago. My favorite city. please give us more more more
Honestly, a terrific review! Production values of your videos have gone through the roof! G'day from Australia!
Most probably your best video presentation EVER - Well done Ed. Greetings from the U.K. 🇬🇧
A great video as usual, a real teaser for the videos of details of your trip. Awesome you got to see the GM archives museum, that is a treat many of us wish we had the chance to see. The current GM building was originally occupied by Ford, but moved back its HQ to Dearborn. I visited The Ford Museum/Greenfield Village in 1996, it is awesome with its many historic vehicles and other stuff.
The Peterson Museum was a highlight of a 5-week cross-country trip from New Jersey (near NY City) I did in September. The main museum was great but I was in car heaven in the 'Vault'. I am 67 and a car nut since a small child, so knew many of the cars in the vault, the docents there also gave info on some of the unique cars there. That RR is something special, indeed a work of art.
I presume your visit to Chicago and Detroit was also for your interest in civil architecture and design. Indeed Chicago is great for its historic buildings.
Ford proposed and financed construction of the RENCEN, but never occupied it beyond a corporate office in one of the buildings.. GM acquired the entire center in 1996 and has spent half a billion dollars in renovations since then.
Absolutely awesome!
Excellent job Ed!
Next trip go to the Lane Museum in (near) Nashville TN. Great museum (with it's own vault) and Nashville itself is well worth the trip.
Keep up the good work.
Really enjoyed it, Ed thanks!
Thanks Ed, awesome video! Immensely enjoyed!
So enjoyable. Thank you
Bravo Ed... Bravo!
Absolutely fabulous documentary, Ed!
Thank you for this beautiful video. ❤️
Great job ED!!!
Thanks sincerely, Ed! Great program!
Ed - I'm so glad you got to visit my hometown and am happy that you came to the Motor City voluntarily as a tourist! Next time you visit, you MUST go to the Motown Museum, even if you're not a music fan. To stand in the same recording studios as Stevie Wonder, Smokie Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross and so many others sang is absolutely incredible.
I wish the Chrysler Museum in Auburn Hills was still open for Ed to see. I’ve lived in Metro Detroit for almost 20 years and still haven’t been to The Henry Ford, but I made a point of visiting the Chrysler Museum on its last public open day a few years ago. Certainly not as big or varied, but still many displays of Chrysler‘s past endeavors.
Just as an aside.... back in the '60's and 70's, the air could get SO polluted, it would melt nylon stockings hanging up (over the course of hours, but still....). You couldn't see the buildings from a half mile away. EPA did its job!
This was a GREAT video! I loved every second of it.
awsome doc, thank you
Just great as usual. You are the best in these topics 👍🏼😃
Awesome video man.
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Great soundtrack too!
Weer een geweldige video, bedankt hiervoor.
Er zijn zoveel reacties maar volgens mij heeft niemand nog gereageerd op de Electrovair, in tegenstelling van wat je beweerde duurde het geen 50 jaar voor de volgende poging, maar in 1996 werd de EV1 geproduceerd en een paar jaar later weer van de weg gehaald. (Who killed the electric car, aanrader)
Ik kijk al uit naar de volgende delen van jouw roadtrip, geweldig.
What an amazing video Ed. Hope you enjoyed your trip through America
Beautiful episode!
Danke für das Video und eine gute Zeit 🙏🏻🍀
Great video, Ed! Thanks for making this, and doing it in such a classy way!
That was real nice, Ed.
Thank you for the video - great job !
You have outdone yourself. Well Done.
Great vid Ed!!
Quality video as always, Ed
America loves you Ed!!
Awesome!
Very well made Ed. Looking forward to round two. Cheers from Canada
I always look forward to your videos. Informative, funny, and cool. Thank you Ed!
Great Ed!
Thank you Ed. I really mean that, I thank you for this great video and all of your videos. It is obvious from your videos that you truly care and love these cars you feature. I enjoy your videos and I look forward to each new one you release.
Great video Ed! 👍🏻👍🏻
fantastic episode...
I wish you all the best Ed!
Omg, awesome video. Been watching this channel since its beginning, and almost every video is exactly what interests me. And now this. My exact dream vacation, presented so beautifully in a video with the right length.
Thank you Ed.
I really enjoyed this, thank you! I love the music too.
Thanks for visiting our country. Always enjoy your videos.
Love your outlook on life AND all things Automotive. Thanks for another wonderful video. ☮️
Man I love this channel.... I can't say it enough
Amazing trip
Wonderful. Saves three trips to see this videos
I enjoyed this so much. I loved seeing US car history and culture through your eyes.
I'm 70 (I give that for perspective). In the 60's my father worked on the electronics in missile silos, nuclear subs, and the analog computer for B-52 tail guns. He worked as a contractor for the government. It meant that though we were not a military family, we did live in all sorts of places for a few months to a year or so at a time. We drove all over with a u-haul trailer. At first we had a 1955 Oldsmobile, but then in 1961 we bought a used 1959 Oldsmobile 98. Most of our trips were before there were many freeways on the routes we took. i.e. we went thousands of miles pulling a trailer on two lane roads. And a lot of it was at night. Absurdly light traffic.
My dad actually used some plywood to make a flat surface in the rear seat so my brother, sister, and I could sleep there while we drove.
Until we moved to Seattle and he ended up working on the AWACS project for boeing, we lived in Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, California and, of course Washington state, sometimes living in a place for only a few months. And this explains why the movie, Cars, evoked such an emotional response in me. I lived in that world. Well, I was in one of the cars passing through, going to restaurants with a big "EAT" sign, filthy filling station restrooms with the rolling cloth hand dryer, etc. Fond memories.
Great video! Glad you enjoyed your trip to America especially to Detroit!
Thanks for taking us along your journey. What incredible collections! Thanks for another great video. Cheers!
This was WONDERFUL!!
So glad you got to do this!!!
What a lovely video you have made. Totally relaxing. Very informative. Time well spent. Thank you for your hard work in producing this. That round-door Rolls was an eye-opener, for sure. Pure automotive art.
Ed, I REALLY enjoyed this video and look forward to future installments.
Regards,
Fantastic work!
Thanks for visiting america and taking us along for the ride!
I truly hope you enjoyed your trip. I hope there were no rude Americans. And it's always good to make a pilgrimage for cars. I for one would like for you to feel welcome to come again!
Great video Ed, a real professional job, from the camera work to the selection of music. Thank you!
Loved it
what an awesome road trip! I'd never thought about visiting Detroit before, but I had no idea what cool car museums and classic car culture there is there.
Ed : Thank you for watching. Me : Ed, thank you for producing a well-made, well--narrated paean to the American car. Truly terrific. Loved it. How Europeans are so good at English is one of the wonders of the modern world. I feel humble, when my first language is as good as your second.
Outstanding work here Ed! Lovely documentary, top professional work to my eyes and ears. Thanks for sharing!
I really enjoy your videos. Seeing things through your eyes is always interesting. I'm not sure I would agree with your perspective on driving on the freeway in North America vs Europe but its interesting to see your perspective on it.
I trust this trip has given you a lot of material to include in some new videos.
What can I say that hasn't already been said by so many fans? This yet another excellent video; thank you for sharing your trip with us! I'm salivating in anticipation of the coming episodes with more details ...
The snippets of old documentary narration in between your own commentary were really really cool! All in all, excellent work, Ed!
Ed! How on earth do you retain all of this! Thank you for doing it!
Hi Ed, I love this genre of videos and to combine traveling with visiting some places linked from the history of motoring is just a perfect idea. So I wish that your channel grows rapidly and cooperation brings great profit. Because watching the same video from Germany, Great Britain, or Italy would be something absolutely amazing. J
