We took a tour of the Ford Model T Piquette plant tonight. Restoration of this building is underway. It was built in 1904 and is the birthplace of the Model T. This building has family history for us as hubby's great great grandfather was the winning bid for the plumbing of the building with a bid of $2,035.

I've been here also... This car must be new as I don't remember seeing it... Great shot. Looks like it right out of that era.
