Located in Dearborn, Michigan, the Henry Ford Museum is a true national treasure. Filled with a host of things that define the history and evolution of the American gearhead, we compiled a bunch of photos from Chad that show the museum’s collection of vehicles from bicycles to muscle cars, to vintage tractors, planes, and dragsters.

Visiting the Henry Ford should be on everyone’s bucket list. If you are into old cars, chances are you have a healthy respect for the history of the country and the Henry Ford exists to celebrate the mechanical history of America. 

In this gallery of 275 photos you’ll see how we as a people evolved from the incredibly basic precursor to the bicycle known as the hobby horse, invented in the early 1800s to the chrome masterpieces that rolled down American highways in the 1950s.
