My 2nd entry in what I hope will be an ongoing series of posts is from the Early Ford V-8 Museum. I'd been there once back in 2014. It was a nice and kind of a small museum with a few excellent examples of early Ford V-8 cars. I wasn't prepared for how much it had changed since then. It was amazing, and the 1936 Floyd Motors Ford Dealership representation just blew me away.
I have finalized the group shots I took of the display as a whole. Within the dealership setup, there were 19 1936 cars gathered. According to the literature and displays, a car representing every model Ford offered in 1936 was displayed. It was an awesome arrangement and I spend a whole lot more time there than I had originally intended. But since we had decided to just have fun and not plan every detail, we were flexible, and my wife just read a bit more, LOL!
My apologies, there was so much to see and experience, some of photos weren't quite as focused as they should have been.

I just love the lines of the '36 Ford coupe.

Just south of the ACD Museum and the town of Auburn, Indiana. Still considered in Auburn, this place is a little off the beaten path. It is located in a complex that use to house the Kruse Automotive & Military Museums (now closed) the address is 2181 Rotunda Drive, Auburn, Indiana.
My words can't accurately describe how much I enjoyed this museum. I saw a whole bunch of very impressive cars and displays, but none thrilled me more than this place.
