Cars, Cars, Everywhere!

More than 700 vintage vehicles descended on Greenfield Village in Dearborn for the 2025 Old Car Festival, and my, was it a head-turner!

The stars aligned for us to arrive at an annual event in Dearborn we'd heard about for years, the annual Old Car Festival at Greenfield Village. With a conference in Detroit a couple days later, we made it a point of arriving Sunday to take it in.

We wished we'd arrived Saturday. A jaw-dropping number of functional vintage vehicles, all pre-1932, were tootling around the quaint streets and rural routes of Henry Ford's own collection of historic buildings. More than 700, we learned afterwards. Too many to absorb.

The constant traffic of vehicles this old was both charming and astounding. Better to show them in motion to communicate the effect, so watch the video!
