Henry’s Ford Garage
Henry’s Garage displays 18 early Fords from the 1906 Model “N” through the Model A”. A parts room duplicating the organized mess of the early Ford parts department and a display of tools used to work on these wonders which would go miles with baling wire or a hair pin holding them together.
1913 Overland
Mr. Geisler is sentimental about every car in his collection but this one has a special place in his heart. Can you remember the first car you ever drove?—Here is the first car Dick Geisler drove, now restored to prize winning condition. It was judged the finest example of restoration in 1963 and received a first place trophy at the national meet held by the Antique Automobile Club of America that year.
Classic Cars
What does set apart a true classic from a standard production car? Two things in principle: Brilliant and unusual design coupled with the most advanced engineering of the day. Almost inseparable from these attributes are two more basic factors: Superlative hand workmanship and limited production. Some classics may excel in body design coupled to a lesser standard of engineering or vice versa, but all the above qualities are invariably found in a true classic.
1928 Cunningham
James Cunningham & Sons manufactured finely made, luxury cars in Rochester, N.Y. between 1907 and 1936. This early example of the V-8 engine produced 100 bhp at 2400 rpm. The Cunningham sold for up to $9,000.00. In 1970 a close-coupled convertible like this one was offered for $38,750.00. Early Cunningham enthusiasts included Mary Pickford, Marshall Field, William Randolph Hearst and Harold Lloyd. This car was driven for half its trip from Wisconsin to the PIONEER AUTO MUSEUM.
