Two bona fide hits and one narrow miss from The Henry Ford’s automotive collection will take to the streets of Greenfield Village this weekend at Motor Muster. More than 1,100 vehicles are scheduled to appear at the annual event, which runs from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
Derek Moore, The Henry Ford’s conservation specialist for transportation collections, says the hits — the 1965 Ford Mustang serial number 1 and the 1956 Chrysler 300B Kiekhaefer stock car — have been shown at Motor Muster before and require relatively little preparation: mostly close inspections and installation of fluids. The Mustang, which appeared in the 2004 Motor Muster, was a hit with young buyers when the pony car was introduced some 45 years ago. The 300B Kiekhaefer stock car, part of the 2006 Motor Muster, was owned by Carl Kiekhaefer’s team, which ruled NASCAR in 1955 and 1956, and was driven by NASCAR national champs Tim Flock in 1955 and Buck Baker in 1956.
