Latest Closure News: Our Museum, and all museums in Indiana, will remain closed until Monday, June 15th. After that, we may be able to open at 50% capacity. Visit this page for future notices.

The Early Ford V-8 Museum is a one-of-a-kind museum dedicated to 1932-1953 Ford history. It consists of three major sections: the original Phase 1 which now houses an Early Ford Speed exhibit, Industrial Engine and Farming displays, and a 1940s Ford Service Garage; The Frank Corey Gallery which houses many of our 1932-53 Ford vehicles; and Floyd Motors, a depiction of a 1936 Ford Dealership.


While we feel that all of the museum is outstanding, Floyd Motors is our Crown Jewel. Click on the Doors below to be taken back in time to 1936.

We're NOT your typical Museum. We feature Flathead V-8 engines, transmissions, rear axles (many of them "cut-a-way" models showing the inner workings); two complete Ford V-8 Chassis: a 1940 Mercury and a running 1932; tons of memorabilia, service items, including test equipment and tools; a dashboard collection, carburetors, tires & rims, clocks for every early V-8 year; Schramm air compressors, showroom banners, advertising posters, even a Ford Model A Coupe to show the progress when the '32 V-8 came out, and on and on. All Genuine Ford. We've got enough Fantastic Ford items to keep you busy "exploring" for many hours. Our Reference Library is being organized with hundreds of books, manuals and Ford DVD videos. An irresistible mecca for the Ford V-8 enthusiast! And we're still adding to the collection.


The Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum is not affiliated with the Ford Foundation, Ford Motor Company or the Henry Ford Museum. We are Ford enthusiasts wanting to tell the history of the Ford Motor Company for others to enjoy.


Under US tax law, contributions to the Foundation are normally tax-deductible. Contributors are urged to seek professional tax advice to ensure that their particular contributions meet the requirements for deductibility.
