This is one of those occasions when I wish RUclips allowed me to give two thumbs up, rather than just one. Maybe I'll give it three, just so the icon stays black. What a fun video!
Another item to add to my bucket list. Thanks for the tour, Paul! PS: A video loaded with information like this is not too long at all.
STEVE!!! How is our girl?
Places like this enshrine automotive history. Every 'A' was a Ford, but Mr. Ford did not touch every 'A'!! This one is special! Thanks for the tour, Paul. I really like museums.
They put on an incredible event. I need to go back to the museum on a day where they don't have an event just so I can actually go and look at everything they have without being distracted.
yes, me too
Well, I rearranged my Bucket List and put the Gilmore Museum at the top of the list. I appreciate the compassion from so many car enthusiasts that lut so much time to preserve car history. I really like the Ford police wagon. Another great video Paul...
What a great collection to visit! I was 8 years old in 1963 and on a family vacation in our 63 Pontiac Catalina somewhere on Rt 66 going to Missouri when we stopped at a gas station a Chrysler turbine drove in. I will always remember seeing that car and the amount of attention that it created. I have always loved those cars and have not seen one since. I guess it’s time to visit the Gilmore! Thanks Paul for a great video…
The had drawings and you would get a car to use for a week or two.
Thanks to all those involved. This is a wonderful video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Happy new year to you to Paul
The Gilmore museum is an absolute jewel. It is an "immersive experience ".the Henry Ford Museum is a historic place that has a lot of things on display that are very impressive. But, it has become a very heavily curated experience from a cultural perspective.
The HF has been converted into a child's attraction in many ways. I could level some other criticism of what the Henry Ford Museum has changed into. However, the Gilmore museum has NOT been taken over by eggheads. The makes and era's of vehicle's are wonderfully displayed and the layout of the property is impressive. I believe that it has exceeded the HF in the way that they present how the automobile fit into the American society.
Yep, the Gilmore is awesome.
What a beautiful day and Cars. A great tour of the museum, there is so much to see, you really need two days to see it all and you make a great bus driver very trustworthy. Looking forward to seeing you again at the next gathering I can attend. Thanks for the video friend. 😅
Thanks Brenda!! Guess who was my cameraman for the "Model A #1" segment?
He was so looking forward to spending time with you and talking with you. Thank you so much for all you and Tina do. I see you have won first in class, congratulations 🍾🎈🎉🎊 😊
Auburn Indiana was a stop on the way home for a visit of the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum there, it was another great time. Although smaller it was very beautiful and educational as well. Lots of history and pre-automotive transportation too.
Model As are so cool. Thanks Paul for showing all the great cars & trucks. And to all of the patrons of the A who restore & keep these beauties alive & well.
Enjoyed every second! Never too long.
Well that museum is getting added to the bucket list.
Highly recommended.
I absolutely love your channel.. Gilmore auto museum is one of the best museums in the country and they have a really awesome staff and just super cool in the fact. Every car one can go up and see it for what it was =)
That 1952 Triumph " Fonzi Motorcycle" was the same motorcycle that Bud Elkins rode in the famous barbwire fence jumping scene in the movie, "The Great Escape".
Interesting! Thank you!
One of the great memories I have with my dad was going to the local shopping center and seeing the demonstration pitch for the turbine car. The thing that really surprised me was when the guy balanced a nickel on edge on top of the air cleaner with if running. There was a turbine car at Harrah's museum in Reno. The engine was just a shell but there was a complete engine on display also. The guy that bought the engine lived in L.A. and was going to put it in a 66 Charger. He said that the Charger was intended to be the production turbine car.
Been awhile since I visited the Gilmore Museum. They definitely added a lot more cars and hands on displays!! Thanx for a great video Paul!!
Thanks for watching!
The Gilmore is a magical place.
You should check out the Tach on the turbine car, zero to 60,000 RPMs!
Perfect spot to display one of your valve radios! You stepped right up, again!
Absolutely!
Great escape from my daily stuff. Thanks, Paul and MAFFI!
Glad you enjoyed it Robert!
Getting a ride on the huff and puff bus with Paul Shinn as the driver was quite the treat for model A days. Thanks for the lift Paul! ;-)
You were an accessory to the crime!! Hahaa!
Hi Paul ! This was one of the best videos ever ! …….so enjoyable !
Glad you enjoyed it Eugene! And thank you for being a part of it!
One of your best videos ever! Of course the Chrysler turbine car made the whole video. One of my favorites, also!
Glad you liked it!
Great video Paul! I'm happy to see you share the same passion I do for the Chrysler turbine car. In high school I loved researching about it.
Great minds...
Just incredible!
I have had John B. call me when he has had (what he thought was a major) mechanical problem with his car and he was so relaxed and calm over the phone. "Yea, so the engine ran 5 seconds and died a few times. Now it won't start at all. I've checked everything I can think of; I'm thinking maybe timing gear broke? I broke a valve? What do you think?" Anyone else would have been in a panic. John was so laid back. Made it so much easier to work with him to fix it over the phone.
John Begg is one of my favorite people! Yes, his voice is so calm and reassuring. If the building was on fire and John told me in his voice "The fire is on the other end of the building, we will be fine right here", I would totally believe him.
Wow thank you, hopefully one of these days i'll get to see it in person. also thank you ,thank you ,thank you, for putting the model a mail truck on a shirt I asked about a picture but this is even better. again thank you!!!!
I had you in mind Jay!
Thanks Paul for a great video.
Glad you enjoyed it Ron!
Paul, totally agree with you about the Chrysler Turbine car. We never got them in Australia so I have never seen one in the flesh but I do have a brochure on one. Beautiful, just beautiful.
Thanks Paul. What an experience!
Amazing!
Visiting in person is a delight for any auto enthusiast. There's just SO MUCH to see and do.
You're right
Great video. Thanks for showing that Turbine, never saw one up close. The mannequins are a bit creepy. I think the cop one is a girl with a mustache or a dead rodent on it's lip. I do agree, that 34 Auburn boat tail is just beautiful.
I edited out the "cop from the village people" joke
One of my favorite places! I lived in Michigan up until 6 years ago so I got to go to the Gilmore and Henry Ford Museum many times.
Lucky!!
Hi, Guy, I saw the Chrysler Turbin in Sioux Falls South Dakota in 1963 at the Plymouth dealership. It was a thrill to sit in the drivers seat and to hear and see the engine run & stand about a foot away from the exhaust when it was running, the whine of the engine was so sweet.
Lucky!
Thanks for promoting the Model A days. I would never have thought about coming to the museum and event last Saturday. All I can say is "I'll be back".....
Do it! You must.
Boat tail definitely the best ! Stunningly. Beautiful !
Mr. Eugene (Tunney) Ninedorf in the early 1960s restored an early 1928 Model A (AR) with a multi-disk clutch, like a motorcycle. Dad did everything in restorations, engine, bodywork, interior upholstery, cloth roof, ... Dad had multiple Model A and T, including a wooden body Model T Depot Hack. Dad was a Master Woodcarver that did everything to perfection.
Another great video unbelievable museums good to see so many stock original cars not cut up
You need to come with me next time. We still on for SEMA?
wow, I finally saw a 1930 model A blind back like I have and am thinking of selling.
That was a great video Paul! So many beautiful cars. The Model A's were awesome but did you know that there was a Chrysler Turbine car there too? Have a great weekend Paul and Tina!
There is?? Hahaa!!
I was geeking out right with you over that Chrysler Turbine. I gotta go there someday. Thanks for another great video Paul.
You HAVE to!
I am so bummed that I didn't know you were going to be at the Gilmore Museum for Model A days this year. I was there with our local club (Grand A's) and would have loved to to have had a chance to meet you. Please come back to see us someday.
Thank you for the museum tour, Paul! Beautiful cars!
I’d never heard of a Turbine car. Now I have something to go read about. Something I can count on by watching one of your videos is that I will learn something.
Glad you enjoyed it Matt!! Wait til you study up on the Chrysler Turbine cars...
Have you read Steve Lehto’s book about the Turbine car? I have not yet, but I’ve watched a couple of his videos.
Wow!! My Dad would have loved to see this! Really, you have A Chrysler Turbine Car!!
Great video Paul!
Thanks, Ricardo!
I am going to see the Gilmore asap, I looked at your google map and saw the Lincoln and Pierce arrow museums in the same complex.
Very wonderful collections. I will hit the Piquette as well. Just focused on Model T's here and 40's cars - Great Video Paul -
Thanks! You will not be disappointed
Great video, entertaining, fun…and they have a Turbine Car. I’ve been to the Museum and it is truly a wonderful place. Your presentation did it justice, Thanks (maybe next year I can attend the Model A Days..looks like fun)
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks! See you there next year?
I just saw 2 of those oil bottles today in an antique shop in Maryland... First time I've ever seen them.
The Gilmore has been on my list to visit since opening... current culture "villainizes" the internal combustion engine, but I say it was one of mankind's ( yep, used the word) greatest engineering accomplishments.. The Gilmore celebrates cars, which transformed transportation ( and the world) forever. The electric push is interesting to see, but really brings out the most bizarre behavior in some. We have a ways to go, but I will ALWAYS respect the engineering and ingenuity of the designers and builders of past times who used slide rules, paper and pencils. Thank you!
I once told a little girl that the Model A was the first "smart car". Her mom who was driving the Prius they were in looked pretty put out at what I was driving. Her mom's politics had clearly jaded the girl's opinions. However, after I told her how the Model A saved the planet, she was very excited about it!
@@ModelA Stephen Ambrose, the renowned author who documented the greatest generation says that the American boys of the 1940’s grew up fixing, tuning, learning about their family cars, the Model T, Model A , etc. of the pre war era. It was common sense and "know-how" that these boys carried into the war. These same kids were able to fix, re-engineer, rig and keep all the engines running during the Second World war, keeping the Allied war machine moving and outpacing the Germans. European lads of the era were no where near as accustomed to being mechanically inclined. Thus, these cars played a big part in saving the free world.
Thanks for a great video. The Gilmore is my favorite automobile museum, and I can't tell folks enough, it is a must see. Furthermore, and I can't recall if Paul mentioned this, but they have a Chrysler Turbine!
Is that so?
Very cool enjoyed watching 👀😎Thanks for sharing I appreciated All the amazing cars and learning the important history especially that Chrysler turbine car.. Amazing 👏Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching, Paul!
Nicely done!
Thanks, Mr. Shinn!!
I think this might be your favorite video so far. You were like a boy on Christmas morning. Seeing all these awesome cars in one place. You really could not contain it. That was great to see. Did you wife enjoy it as well?? I am sure it was hard to leave. You did great driving the bus by the way. I am sure everyone had fun with that. What was your favorite thing to do and see there? What is the one thing that would bring you back all the way to MI again? Looked like some great people there as well. Who interviewed you? That is neat. Glad you and Model T had a great time! Thanks for the Vlog. Enjoyed it. Have a great weekend my friend. God bless!
Pastor Craig! Tina didn't go on this trip. She was working.
Favorite thing? Seeing a Chrysler Turbine car in person. I almost broke the 10th commandment.
What would I bring back to MI? Tina.
I was interviewed by the TV crew working for the Gilmore to document the event.
Thank you and God bless!
@@ModelA Sounds like a great time my friend. Great to hear all the great stuff you did. I am sure you will be back sometime. Some of those cars looked pretty good. It was cool to see the Back to the Future car there. Would be great to have a Knight Rider car there as well :) I am sure the interview went well too. Glad you had a great time! Have a blessed Sunday!
Great video, great coverage of rare Model A's in the Model A Foundation Museum, and I agree Paul that the Turbine car is amazing. I think you should talk to Jay Leno and ge a ride in his. You have earned it for all you do for the hobby! Thanks Paul.
Jay doesn't even know I exist. I'm just a regular guy and he's... well.. He's Jay Leno!
@@ModelA Do not give up, give Jay a call.
Mr. Paul Shinn, how are you today? Yes sir, a beautiful Town car, love it, can I have one? Just kidding, I couldn't afford it, for sure. The bus you hijacked was a wonderful looking bus, and I thought I seen a Chrysler Turbine car, not sure, yep, a beauty. Great one Paul, I loved it, thanks for sharing, have a wonderful weekend.
Thanks Dan!
Minnesota's Alfred Kahn-designed Ford Factory was in St. Paul, not Minneapolis. It was located n a neighborhood called Highland Park, no less!
I have been there
nice video, thank you Paul
Thanks Don!
Paul, sure enjoyed your visit to Model A Days and the Gilmore Car Museum! Please come back and visit us again soon.
You made that day even better. Thank YOU!
I love the town car, the yellow Cord, and the brass era cars too! Of course the muscle car room would have been my favorite!
Even the smell in there was awesome
I didn’t realize the Model A went to Thomas Edison
Looks like one could spend DAYS at the museum, very informative video.
We are hoping to make it to the 2023 National Tour - Back Roads to the Classics which
Incudes this museum, and others, with our 1929 enclosed cab pickup. Hope y’all can make that one.
That sounds like a good time!
Such a great place. I was there Saturday for Model A day :)
Me too!
St Paul Plant not Mpls. I spotted that plant and pulled out Ford Rangers. I still drive my 2011 St Paul made truck. Been running thru that Plant as a Ford Fan it was heaven.
I loved working there-RR. I walked my lunches there. Such history.
That's awesome
Paul it was great to finally meet you last weekend, Gilmore's is my favorite place to be. There were a lot of trucks that were outside for the show that are back in the museum. Jerry Morrissey and I were out there yesterday cleaning up the Huff and Puff bus. And moved the AA stake truck to the storage unit. I'm blessed to live close enough to the Gilmore's museum to be able to enjoy it. So many great cars in one place. You will have to come back and let Tina see the museum.
Jerry!!! Such a pleasure to meet you. Sorry about stealing the bus 6 times. I told Tina she HAS to go there with me. I really wanted to ride on the stake bed truck. Very bummed I missed out on that. Need to visit again!
@@ModelA it was so great to see everyone enjoying the bus, I think this year was the most it had been ridden. As far as you taking it I believe no one was bothered by that,I think you helped fill the bus.
I hope it helped. My goal is to introduce the Ford Model A to as many people as possible.
@@ModelA same here. I'm always trying to get people involved in the hobby. As many young ones as possible. Without them the hobby is doomed. Being a boomer I try to bridge the gap. I have 3 grandsons who are interested in Model A's. 2 are little, and one is 18 and all of them want my car. Looks like I'm going to have to acquire more!
That was a great time. Cool I saw me my wife and daughter in the video. Again was cool to meet you paul. Your videos always make my day. That would be cool to see you checkout greenfield village. Maybe henry ford estate in one of your videos. The village has model As there Ts for sure. Plus the museum is pretty cool as well. One more thing. How crazy would it be if you got to drive the 1st ever model A or even have it in your collection.
Thanks Scott. If you ever want to be in a video, just say so! I would be afraid to drive Model A #1
@@ModelA o man. Yes I would love to be in one of your videos. That would be amazing. Wish I was closer to you. Who knows. Maybe somewhere down the line.
I got to see a turbine car running at this years Easter car show in St. Louis. They have one at the Transportation museum 😎
Nice
wow awesome video thank you
Glad you enjoyed it Mack!
I was there last Saturday as well . Sorry I missed you ,not for a lack of trying . What a wonderful place . The first car I photographed was the Chrysler Turbine ,so cool ! I wound up making several passes through the various buildings and around the grounds . So much to take in .
The Town Car in the A Museum was the one I really wanted to see . I had never seen one in person .
That was is truly breathtaking
@@ModelA The Tucker was a surprise too . Walked right by it on my way to the Model A stuff .lol , Saw it on my second pass through that building ,felt kind of silly for not noticing it .
Great video Paul Gorgeous Chrysler turbo car
Thanks John!
Paul, this time next week I should be the next care taker of a A400 and I’m taking the top down for the first drive for you…Ken
AWESOME!!! Please take lots of pictures!!
Frankly you could of had a three hour long video and I don’t think you’d have covered everything at the Gilmore Museum! Probably because you’d have spent two and a half hours on the turbine car! Just kidding! I’m glad you included other areas of the museum as well as Model A’s ( Model A days was incredible by the way!) as I would have liked to see all of it but my old tired legs weren’t up to it. Thanks for letting us tour the show with you! I really enjoy all your videos!
P.S. I also really like the color combination of your coup, especially the wheels!
Thank you! And thanks for the gifts!
That was fun! What a museum. I also love turbine cars and abhor mannequins!
How difficult would it be to draw one? All those curves!
Great video.
Thanks!
The Turbine car is FANTASTC! The history is amazing!!!! Sad, the company destroyed the majority after field tests. 😯
When I read about it as a kid, I came close to crying about it. That says a lot for an autistic kid to cry.
My favorite place to look at cars in Michigan
Yes!
So right Paul! Auburn Boattail Speedsters ARE the sexyist cars ever built...to me anyway!
Outstanding Mr Shinn.I do believe you had quite the time at the museum. Absolutely without a doubt some of the most beautiful cars around. THANKS PAUL.DEAN J.
Many thanks!
I can't understand why Thomas Edison would have a beautiful Model-A Two-Door altered into a Phaeton. It seems to me back in the day people wouldn't want open cars because many had grown up with open buggies so choosing an enclosed car would be the first choice. And I understand that the Model-A Two-Door was the biggest seller. I know that people did opt to buy Phaetons, perhaps not intending to use the car during winter or in a severe means of saving money, either I doubt would apply to Edison. I'm certain were I around back when I'd have bought an enclosed Model-T as soon as Ford had released that type.
I don't know. Maybe because he was the outdoorsy type? No idea.
@@ModelA Paul, I'm sorry that you took the time here to reply because I know that you're very busy. My comment wasn't a question. I was just making a statement. But thanks for your input.
Paul! Don’t hate on the mannequins! My mom curates the fashion for the model A museum and has spent hours on them!
Kidding a bit… but so grateful for the great content this week and always!
Sorry, Phil. It's a childhood phobia. I can't stand them, no matter how well dressed!
@@ModelA Well , maybe just refer to those mannequins as "action figures", and they will be tolerable .
The only "action" I see them doing is killing me in my sleep
My parents bought there original 1920-30s clothing at a store in Chilton WI.
I got to ride in a Chrysler turbine car at the 1964 World's Fair. It was a short ride, but really cool.
LUCKY!!!
Is that turbine car operational? The closest I've ever come to seeing one was watching the video of Jay Leno driving his.
I honestly don't know. Never thought to ask!
I was the same way when I saw that turbine car! No words, just amazing! I couldn't believe it, but I had to cuz I was looking right at it
The difference is, camera was rolling- I had to say something! I just wanted to stay and stare at it.
Hi Paul, I'm guessing that you would like to own a Chrysler Turbine car! I've seen 3. The Portland Roadster Show in Portland, Oregon in 1963 was the first time. Standing in my front yard in Hood River, Oregon watching one drive by. And the Harris museum in Sparks, Nevada. I get goosebumps just thinking about those cars.
I would give my spleen for one
Paul, don't forget to mention the turbo car. haha Anyhow, the government told Chrysler to destroy all of these cars. Something tells me it wasn't the reason they gave though. I'm tinking all the other co's complained that this car could affect the whole industry. And yes, I hear that Jay Leno has one. haha Good video Paul.
Yep, Jay has one that runs. Wow
That Chrysler Turban was the Batmobile prototype I think.
Yea!
Cool turban car!!!
cool buS!!
Cooler driver!
Amazing Cars ans the CHRYSLER TURBINE CAR WOW.......Thanks brother Paul......Paul l would love to light up J79 engines just one more time.....Shoe🇺🇸
That would be cool! You have to go, brother. My video doesn't do it justice
@@ModelA F-4 Phantom was my deal over Nam so many years ago look me up in the Blues Call sign Axel...Thanks Paul....Shoe🇺🇸
It's amazing. Paul hates the Chrysler Turbin car. 😄
Hahhaaa!!!
❤
The Gilmore Museum is the best.
Yep
О! Именно об этом самолёте я говорил тебе прежде, Пол. И сейчас их много летает. Это Питенпол Эйр Кэмпер. Правда он должен быть двухместный, а тут одноместный. Совершенно верно, у него двигатель от Форда модели А.
Oh, that's the plane I told you about, Paul. And now there are a lot of them flying. This is Pietenpol Air Camper. True, it should be a double, but here it is a single. That's right, it has a Ford Model A engine.
Right! Thank you very much, my friend
What is the number on the Turbine?
Number?
Enjoyed this video, however, there is way too much discussion of the Chrysler Turbine - once or twice would have been sufficient; I would have enjoyed more video, and discussion, on other models in this collection.
I disagree. The name of the channel is "Paul Shinn". That is a bucket-list item for me, and I was able to share it with my friends here. If you understand it for what it is, you'll see.
So many cool cars, so many creepy mannequins! 😬
Yes!!
Paul great video have you been to Ireland and to ballinascarty West Cork to birth places of Henry ford's grandparents farm
No
@@ModelA you should link the history
Do they have a Chrysler turbine car there?
Maybe...
So let me get this straight Paul, you really dig the Chrysler Turbine car, is that right?
It's OK
What Does John Marshall have to do with the Dukes of Hazard. I have no idea who he is .
By the way, there is a Chrysler turbine car over there! 👉😉👍👍👍👍
For real? Where??!!
@@ModelA I took the better half to the Gilmore and saw the turbine car there last year in June and was super cranked to see a car I’ve read about and loved since I was a kid.
Must have been a ma%net in that Chrysler
