Ford previews collection of 125 historic vehicles in new Romulus Vault

Ford has opened its 79,000-square-foot Ford Vault in Romulus, Michigan, in a former Amazon warehouse, bringing together 125 historically significant vehicles spanning more than a century of the automaker’s history. The collection includes classic cars and trucks, race winners, concept vehicles and pop-culture icons, including GT40s from the 1966 Le Mans victory and a Mustang featured on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.” Ford says the vehicles will preserve its history and give designers and engineers a resource for studying past ideas and informing future designs. A preview event for selected guests and employees sold out; Ford plans future public access and events, but the Vault is not yet open for regular public visits and no public opening date has been announced.
