And don't forget the Henry Ford museum in Dearborn!  They have
"modernized" the exibits lately (yuck!) and gotten rid of a lot
of their steam engine collection, but they still have quite a

And at least one of nearly everything else ever made in the 
history of the world...  ;-)

Yep, it's in Dearborn, bordered roughly by the Southfield freeway on the
east, Michigan Avenue on the North, Oakwood on the west and Rotunda Drive
(I think) on the south.  The entrace is off of Oakwood.
