Thank you for taking us along on your adventure. Quite the piece of history is the Model T and its predecessors.

[@pumpkintown]

Amen I feel the same way. Thanks Craig!

[@truthreigns7]

Looks like someone has been traveling. Great video, thank you

[@pumpkintown]

Thank you for watching and being interested!!

[@Flyfishtherockies]

Great video, the suit and bow tie is a nice touch too

[@pumpkintown]

Thank you kindly! I was just coming in from a gravestone dedication of two stones I carved that were installed in an historic cemetery.

GREAT video!!! I've never seen a black squirrel!!! Love, love, love the red touring car you showed first. It's amazing!!! I loved seeing all the vintage stuff, like Owners Manual. I would be nervous if I bought a new car and a big fire extinguisher came with it!! LOL! TFS! Austin TX USA

[@pumpkintown]

I never have seen one either. Yes I think the big fire extinguisher is a red flag but is a beautiful period piece! Thanks for commenting! I love the red touring model t as well

I hope you enjoyed your visit to Michigan! I had to laugh at the text, "A real black squirrel!" We've got a few colors of squirrel, with the most common being black. I live an hour's drive north of Detroit, and have seen this Piquette plant but had no idea it's open to the public. That pop-up camper lit a lightbulb in my head! There's a video of Henry Ford and Thomas Edison camping in California. (See what I did there?).

[@pumpkintown]

Down South our squirrels are only brown! With the rare exception on some white ones in one town of NC.

Did you just go to Detroit this week ?? to this museum .......Great Videos.....Elvis.....

[@pumpkintown]

No sir Elvis Fulper! That was back in Sept!, just after we saw you brother!

So the stone foot warmer is similar to the same idea of heating an iron or the metal bed warmer.

[@pumpkintown]

Exactly!

[@truthreigns7]

Now concerning the lighting lanterns on these cars, did they use the carbide system?

[@pumpkintown]

I am not sure

[@truthreigns7]

May i ask what type of hat is that on Henry Ford's couch "1:30"?

[@pumpkintown]

Bowler or derby!
