Ford Throws Open the Doors to Its New Vault, Unveiling 125 Rare Historic Vehicles
The archive brings more than 150 concept, racing and historic vehicles together in one public-facing collection for employees, visitors and designers, Ford said.
- On Friday, Ford Motor Co. opened the 79,000-square-foot Ford Vault in Romulus, Michigan, consolidating roughly 150 historic vehicles, concept cars, and racing machines into a permanent archive.
- Archives and Heritage Brand Manager Ted Ryan began building the heritage fleet three years ago after CEO Jim Farley pushed Ford to develop a collection similar to ones maintained overseas.
- The 125-vehicle collection includes a 1910 Model T, a 1938 ambulance, and rare concept Mustangs, alongside World War II-era military vehicles and a Formula One race car.
- Currently, the facility is restricted to employees due to zoning regulations, though Ford is working with Romulus city government to secure permits for eventual public access.
- Designers and engineers will use the Vault as a working archive to study earlier innovations and draw inspiration for future vehicle projects and development.
