Ford Motor Co. has opened its 79,000-square-foot Ford Vault in Romulus, Michigan, bringing together 125 rare historic vehicles, concept cars and racing machines in a permanent archive.

The collection includes a 1910 Model T, a 1938 ambulance, rare concept Mustangs, World War II-era military vehicles and a Formula One race car.

💡
Ford Archives and Heritage Brand Manager Ted Ryan began developing the collection three years ago following CEO Jim Farley's push to establish an archive comparable to those maintained by overseas automakers.

The facility is currently accessible only to employees because of zoning restrictions. Ford is working with Romulus city officials to obtain permits for eventual public access.

Designers and engineers will use the collection to study historical innovations and draw inspiration for future vehicle development.
