Visite privée en voiture antique de la zone du patrimoine national de MotorCities

Aperçu
Amenez jusqu'à quatre personnes en tournée dans notre Phaeton de 1930 (voiture ouverte) pour entendre les histoires rares des personnes qui ont bâti l'industrie automobile de Detroit. Des gens ordinaires avec un esprit extraordinaire de "pouvoir faire" ont transformé Detroit en Motor City. En tournée, nous nous souvenons du plus grand nombre possible, de ceux qui sont à ce jour connus et de ceux dont les étoiles se sont estompées dans le temps.

À quoi s'attendre
1
Ford Plant
The Antique Touring Company garage is in Milwaukee Junction, a small industrial district of Detroit that became the incubator of the automobile industry in the first decade of the 20th Century. Specifically, we are in the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant, now a museum dedicated to preserving the first Factory built by the Ford Motor Company, in 1904. In those days Henry Ford was not the only Tinkerer on the block. Meet us at 461 Piquette Avenue and we will take you around the neighborhood to see where it all began, and in many cases where it also ended, for automobile companies such as Studebaker, Ford, EMF, Regal, Nash, Detroit Electric, Brush and Packard, as well for suppliers such as Murray, Briggs and Fisher. The neighborhood looks a little rough these days, but Milwaukee Junction is must-not-miss sacred ground of American automobile heritage. A National Historic Landmark, the Highland Park Plant is where the Ford Motor Company built the first fully automated assembly line. The assembly line was a game changer in automobile production, allowing Ford to manufacture cars so efficiently that they could be priced low enough that working class people could afford them. Besides the assembly line, in Highland Park we will also discuss some of Ford's social experimentation, as well as the critical role of the automobile industry in World War I.

Boston Edison Historic District
When the Milwaukee Junction tinkers became titans of the auto industry, many of them, and their white collar colleagues, built homes in the Boston Edison neighborhood of Detroit.

Usine Ford
Le garage Antique Touring Company se trouve à Milwaukee Junction, un petit quartier industriel de Détroit qui est devenu l'incubateur de l'industrie automobile dans la première décennie du XXe siècle. Plus précisément, nous sommes dans l'usine Ford Piquette Avenue, aujourd'hui un musée dédié à la préservation de la première usine construite par la Ford Motor Company, en 1904. À cette époque, Henry Ford n'était pas le seul bricoleur du quartier. Rencontrez-nous au 461, avenue Piquette et nous vous emmènerons dans le quartier pour voir où tout a commencé, et dans de nombreux cas où cela s'est également terminé, pour des constructeurs automobiles tels que Studebaker, Ford, EMF, Regal, Nash, Detroit Electric, Brush et Packard, ainsi que pour des fournisseurs tels que Murray, Briggs et Fisher. Le quartier a l'air un peu rude ces jours-ci, mais Milwaukee Junction est un lieu sacré incontournable du patrimoine automobile américain. Un monument historique national, l'usine de Highland Park est l'endroit où la Ford Motor Company a construit la première chaîne de montage entièrement automatisée. La chaîne de montage a changé la donne dans la production automobile, permettant à Ford de fabriquer des voitures si efficacement qu'elles pouvaient être vendues à un prix suffisamment bas pour que la classe ouvrière puisse se les offrir. Outre la chaîne de montage, à Highland Park, nous discuterons également de certaines expérimentations sociales de Ford, ainsi que du rôle critique de l'industrie automobile dans la Première Guerre mondiale.
32
Quartier historique de Boston Edison
Lorsque les bricoleurs de Milwaukee Junction sont devenus des titans de l'industrie automobile, beaucoup d'entre eux, ainsi que leurs collègues cols blancs, ont construit des maisons dans le quartier Boston Edison de Detroit. Sur le chemin du retour de Highland Park, nous traversons Boston Edison pour voir quelques grandes demeures que les titans de l'automobile ont construites dans les années précédant la Première Guerre mondiale.
33
L'usine Ford de l'avenue Piquette
Découvrez le lancement de Ford Motor Company, la troisième tentative d'Henry Ford dans la construction automobile. Aussi l'histoire des constructeurs automobiles du quartier dont Studebaker qui a acheté l'usine de Piquette à Ford en 1911.
34
Usine automobile Packard
Écoutez l'histoire de la raison pour laquelle les frères Packard ont déménagé leur entreprise de l'Ohio à Detroit et ce qui a rendu l'usine et la marque Packard si spéciales. De plus, ce qui a finalement conduit à la chute de l'entreprise.
35
Centre industriel de Russell
Écoutez les histoires de Murray Body et Anderson Electric Automobile Companies.

Immeuble Fisher
Le bâtiment Fisher, conçu pour Fisher Body et General Motors, est considéré comme la plus grande réalisation architecturale d'Albert Kahn.

We wanted a tour of Detroit while in town for a weekend and what better way to do it than in a Ford Model A! Our guide Lisa was so knowledgeable about Detroit motor history and seeing the buildings where it all started was so interesting. Unfortunately their convertible was overheating so we had to take the hard top but it didn’t distract from the experience. If you’re in Detroit this is a must do tour!
