So much incredible history there! All if those Model A's are awesome! The Business Coupe is beautiful! The commercial vehicles are really cool too! Great video!😎
Tux-Away was the name of the Rumble seat rain cover. I have only seen original ads for them so thank you for showing me a real one in place. Keep up the great work. Also Ford had the TRI-Moto passenger planes in the 1930s and it is reported a few still fly today in Africa. Made of corrugated steel with wicker seats to save weight. Also the Germans used a twin of that for all of their top brass throughout WW2. Junkers JU-52 also known as Ford Tri Moto.
Dad would have loved this portion of the museum. I took him to the Gilmore years ago but they hadn't built the "dealership" buildings yet. He was born in 28, so he would have definitely have related to everything in there.
There is so much cool stuff in the building, I saw pictures of a couple more building they want to build muscle car building. Looks sweet I think your dad would have totally digged that building
Good video, the Gilmore is a special place for all gear heads. But the Model A section is so special, the collection is price less. Last September during the Model A Days weekend, I rode on the School Bus with Paul Shinn driving, he is a Model A wealth of knowledge. Someone had mentioned that this bus was driven from California to the museum. I’ll be back this coming September A days. For my pick of the A’s it’s the 2 door sedan convertible 400A, wished you had looked at this car, it’s a great example of this rare model. I’m partial to this Model, I have one in my garage.
I’m a huge Paul Shinn fan =) I want to collaborate with him in the future, sorry I didn’t look at the 400A more, I was running low on time at that point and wanted to show one more barn. Tried to do too much in a little window in time. I love that place
Hi Jay!: That collection of A's is FABULOUS! SO MANY RARE Model A's! The oval windowed coupe was a factory body style, but I am not sure about that open truck. My favorite is the A-400 (1931 Convertible Sedan}. Second would be any of the Deluxe Phaetons. You will notice that regular phaetons have 4 doors. but the deluxe was a 2 door phaeton. The blind window sedan was called that because there is not a third window in the back for the passengers to look out of. Ford did make a 4 door sedan with windows there, I think I saw one in the video. The blind window was probably a little more "fancy", just like the RARE town car. If I am not mistaken Thomas Edison's Phaeton was the very first model A. It originally had the sedan body shown in the picture of the first viewing. T.A. liked open cars, though, so Henry put the phaeton body on it. The engine should have the #1 stamped on it, for the very first model A engine (production). Going to have to get me a Model A!!!
The Edison car is also the very first one built . You mentioned the " Blind Back " , they were called that because they did not have the side windows behind the rear doors
I'd have to choose the Model A Roadsters as favorites. I wouldn't mind driving either one. That museum seems like you could take DAYS to completely take in everything.
Great guess it might be a beach boys song but it’s not that song =) Their harmonies give it away in my opinion they were one of the best harmony vocal groups of the 60s
I remember a hearing a family story that my Grandmother flipped her Model T over on its side somehow and used her lace-up high heel boot to kick a hole in the canvas roof to get out. Not sure why she didn't just climb through the window.
Edison and Ford were big pals. They would go camping together. Ford made a camp mobile. I imagine Ford gave the car to Edison. Edison was something of a charlatin. Tesla hated him. Tesla and Westinghouse went with AC and destroyed Edison and DC.
@@What.its.like. I don't recall if Edison invented anything. Certainly not the light bulb. He took others ideas and perfected and marketed them in the main. He tried to stop AC by electrocuting elephants in public. He wanted to put a coal fired DC plant on every corner because DC could'nt be transmitted long distances. Tesla on the other hand wanted to transmit AC through the air like radio waves.
@@What.its.like. Well he never got it to work but NASA had a short lived plan to put orbiting solar power stations up and beam the power back through microwaves. Too bad for anything that flew through the beams.
Beach Boys Farmer's Daughter ?
Yeah buddy congratulations you got it =)
I've been there a number of times. It is a tremendous collection of automobiles and associated memorabilia.
So much incredible history there! All if those Model A's are awesome! The Business Coupe is beautiful! The commercial vehicles are really cool too! Great video!😎
Great place to visit one day for sure
Loved your video. I own a 1930 Model a roadster Pick-up. Have had it 12 years and I love it.
Awesome =)
What an amazing place, and how fortunate we are that you made this video! So now this place is on our bucket list of places to visit. Thanks Jay!
Thank you so much for the tour, Jay. I really enjoyed it.
Glad you dig this episode =)

What a treat !
Great job!!
Enjoyed!!! 👍👍

Wow. What cool looking place. I had no idea there were so many versions of the model A.
That place is so cool =)
My favorite is a Model A roadster pickup. They have (or did a few years ago) several of them at the Volo if you get up northwest of Chicago sometime.
I want to go to volo as well as there’s another big one in Minnesota I can’t think of a name off the top of my head at the moment
Great Video !
Thank you glad you dig
Great place 👍
Loved the early model Ford GT at 8:46!

Awesome information =)
The Gilmore Car Museum is world class.
100% agree that place is absolutely incredible if your car enthusiast

That museum is a huge place well worth taking a trip up there to see =)
Noisey shoes. Liked the business coup.
Yeah sorry about the shows cool choice
Beach Boys do it again 🤞my mother is from California I miss this she'll kick my butt 😂
Great guess it might be a beach boys song but it’s not that song =) Their harmonies give it away in my opinion they were one of the best harmony vocal groups of the 60s

Better go get your butt kicking over with John😁

Thank you for sharing that story what a great memory =)
👍👍👍👍👍
I thought the Cabriolet with the rumble seat tent was unique. I'd like to have a roadster pickup.
I’ve never seen that before
Thomas Edison’s model A not just be it was his but the fact it is Model A job one serial number #1
I was inside Walter p Chrysler 1933 Chrysler imperial which was an insane experience that episode is probably going to be coming next week
You can have any color you want as long as it is black.
Model T

Tesla got screwed he should be remembered as the Genius, not just the side kick

Opera glasses.
Lost In The Wind, maybe? Not sure of the band.
Great guess it was farmers daughter by The Beach Boys
@@What.its.like. I saw that, and I'm amazed that I didn't catch that it was the Beach Boys.
Mannequins don't freak me out but I don't like seeing them at museums. Too me, they make the displays look cheesy.
They are weird
Beach Boys - Be true to your school ?
It might be a beach boys song but not that song good try tho
Great video!
