George, you had a ‘crawl’ go by about designers. It mentioned the Eames Brothers. Charles Eames was married to Ray Eames, a husband and wife team, not brothers.
Great video George. You have inspired me to visit The Henry Ford Museum again. I live in the area so it’s easy for me to get to. The next time you are in the area, consider visiting Pewabic pottery if you haven’t already done so. They have tours. You would like it.
@@TheAntiqueNomad There are a number of good antique stores and malls in the area. For someone like yourself who is looking to resell, I would recommend the Junque Shop Antique store in Detroit. Great deals to be had. It’s not in a good area, but I go there all the time. Don’t be scared off. 🙂
My parents had an Edsel station wagon around 1960. The back glass rolled down. We were at the drive-in, watching cartoons on the other screen, and my little sister fell out. She scraped the skin off her nose, and my parents rushed to the emergency room. I was mad at her because we had to leave, but after she was patched up, we went back to the drive-in.
Well George it looks like you could have a new channel, "Museum Tours by George". I think it would hit 100000 quickly !! This was so great. Thank you very much for taking the time to film and show us around.
Neat that your grandfather served in the House, and along with your father's military service in the Navy and your own fascinating story, you, George, have great subject matter for a second book!! On a different subject, I regret that my barn finds never turned 40 bucks into $4,000. Damn.
Hello! I hope you're all enjoying this video. My vacation to the mountains will likely delay the release of my next video but I'll be back in 10-14 days, please subscribe and click bell to be notified when the next video comes out!
i do hope you are not going to the rocky mountains -- we are enveloped in smoke from the california fires and not much to see -- so sad -- thanks for the tour of the ford museum -- what a wonderful collection of americana
I had an old mini in the 80s that I had to use the handle of an old hammer to reach down between that various parts of the engine and give it a sharp thump to get it going
George! I love watching your videos and learn so much from you. Today, i researched a stoneware cat that i picked up and found out it's by Pottery Craft. So then i had to research Pottery Craft and was directed straight to your book. :)
I used to work for an agency that produced the membership magazine for the AA in the U.K. (Automobile Association) formed in 1905 and they have a museum associated with early motoring They were/ are famous for their maps and route planning that my dad and I would pore over before our trips to Europe in 1970s Their key thing is roadside assistance and in the early days patrols - a surprising number of whom were women - used to drive round on motorcycles and they would salute members recognisable from bumper membership badges They would also try an alert members to speed traps ahead - and they got severely reprimanded for this so it developed that if a patrol very obviously DIDNT salute you then there was a speed trap ! The museum is fascinating and has a whole section on continental travel - no car ferries in those days and offered help in getting your car freighted abroad - ah to be a fabulously rich car owner in the 1920s
So much to take in; what an amazing collection! I thought of that All In The Family line as soon as you mentioned it was a LaSalle - finally got to see one! 👍
You deserve a vacation! But, selfishly, I wish I could watch a new installment everyday! I really appreciate your knowledge and insight. I really have enjoyed the Ford Museum tour and would really enjoy more museum tours with you. Have a great vacay!
Hey George! That House of Reps desk was fantastic!!! All of that pre-factory furniture was super-nice. I'd love to have that scarab, in the case. Those oak wall phones were great. ALL those old cars would be a dream to have!!! Thanks for the guided tour!!!
Yes, he was admin assistant to a congressman who died in office, they decided my Grandfather was the only one who knew enough about what was going on to replace him on the ballot at the last minute. He defied the odds and won office

Oops yes I missed that not good! Thank you for the correction.
Absolutely wonderful...thank you.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!
Wonderful things
They sure have them!
@@TheAntiqueNomad whatvwere those dark green vases with leaves. Stunning
Everyone should see the Ford Muesum. Hope to return someday.
Agreed!
Wow! Very cool museum!! Have fun and stay safe!!🌻😊
Thank you 🤗
As always another great information video!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Oh it’s on my list! There’s actually a ton of good Antique and vintage attractions and shopping in Detroit area

That’s right the rear roll down window! They kept that in the Mercury for a few years, seemed like a good idea but apparently not

Thank you! It’s not everyone’s speed but I love seeing a good museum where they show things we actually could find
You took us to another world of high-end and elegant antique You are characterized by diversity more success
Thank you! I try hard to mix it up, I can't just do Goodwill videos one after another, I'd tear my hair out

I could perhaps! I wish I found 100 times profit on things all the time too, but it's sure fun in those rare instances
Love that pop up tent - and from the 20s !
I've never seen one like it!
This was awesome - thanks so much for sharing your visit!
Thank you so much!
George I can’t go on vacation, next best thing. Thank you
Thank you I’m glad you could come along!
Thanks George, I hope you arrived home safely ❤️ Thank you Xeno for keeping the chat going last night. ❤️
Thank you for hanging in there! I got home ok
Did you happen to find out what they use to clean their display cases. Just imagine if antique malls could have glass cases that clear.
They seem to have lots of staff! I'm sure that helps
We had the touchstone phone without the *# but had to trade it in when MCI came out for long distance.
Yes so many were lost to advancing technology, hence the value of the survivors!

Enjoy the time off George ~ making all these wonderful video’s, you certainly deserve a break!
I had an old mini in the 80s that I had to use the handle of an old hammer to reach down between that various parts of the engine and give it a sharp thump to get it going
That's funny! I don't know why it works but sometimes it does
George! I love watching your videos and learn so much from you. Today, i researched a stoneware cat that i picked up and found out it's by Pottery Craft. So then i had to research Pottery Craft and was directed straight to your book. :)
Cool! I love Pottery Craft, it's nice that an American firm was the first mass-marketed stoneware to succeed on that level!
You so obviously were in George heaven here! Such informative videos of this museum with a top rate tour guide 👌
Oh thanks! I figured people could get something out of it any way even if we couldn’t shop there

That's funny to hear about the speed traps! I'm very curious to see the AA UK museum when I eventually can get to England, it sounds right up my alley
I have got to go to this museum, it is better than the Smithsonian
It has amazing things I didn't even show!
So much to take in; what an amazing collection! I thought of that All In The Family line as soon as you mentioned it was a LaSalle - finally got to see one! 👍
15:18
I didn't understand that line as a kid, finally saw a LaSalle at a car show and it all made sense!
If you think about Henry Ford is some what responsible for the 'Garage Sale' nobody had a garage until they got a car.
Excellent point! I like that
George--make the most of your time away and rest up. Catchcha in September!!
Thank you! We'll see if I can really stay away, I expect I'll do some stuff on The Antique Nomad Live! channel if the signal works where I am
My first job was a carhop at A&W!!
Fun! My mom was a carhop in L.A. in the early 1950s and spilled soup on Debbie Reynolds
Love your program, Di from Australia
Thank you so much! I"m always glad I can find things that are of interest outside the USA
You deserve a vacation! But, selfishly, I wish I could watch a new installment everyday! I really appreciate your knowledge and insight. I really have enjoyed the Ford Museum tour and would really enjoy more museum tours with you. Have a great vacay!
Thank you! I imagine I'll pop up with something on The Antique Nomad Live! channel as signals permit
Oh that’s my neck of the woods! So many good things to see at THF and Greenfield Village!
It's such a great museum!
George, have a safe and relaxing vacay!
Thank you! I imagine you might see me pop up on The Antique Nomad Live! channel, signal permitting
I have always wanted a candlestick phone, but don't know how I would use it now.
They can be used as extension phones but if you need touch tone, then not so good now...
Was that a starter solinoide?I think I remember doing that to start my vw to.thanks for the memory
Yes that's right! Lol
Hey George! That House of Reps desk was fantastic!!! All of that pre-factory furniture was super-nice. I'd love to have that scarab, in the case. Those oak wall phones were great. ALL those old cars would be a dream to have!!! Thanks for the guided tour!!!
I sure saw a lot I'd like to have! Thanks for going along with me
I didn’t know your grandfather was a politician.
Yes, he was admin assistant to a congressman who died in office, they decided my Grandfather was the only one who knew enough about what was going on to replace him on the ballot at the last minute. He defied the odds and won office
