World's largest Model A museum opening

If you're an auto fan and in the upper Midwest this vacation season, here's another reason to make a stop at Hickory Corners, Mich.: the world's largest Model A Ford museum opened last week on the campus of the Gilmore Car Museum -- actually a collection of museums -- off I-94 near Kalamazoo and Battle Creek.

The Model A museum is housed in 12,000 square-foot building designed after a 1928 Ford dealership. The Model A Ford Foundation raised money to build this monument to the car that saved Ford in the late 1920s and 1930s when the wildly successful Model T was being overtaken by more modern rivals.
