Old Car Festival 2008, Greenfield Village

At the 58th annual Old Car Festival in Greenfield Village at The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI, hundreds of antique autos took to the streets throughout the day and well into the evening. Instead of the usual static display of cars behind ropes, visitors get to see, hear and smell these historic treasures in operation.

Duration : 0:9:14
