Inside Ford’s $1bn Secret Bunker! | Secret Stash

The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, USA is one of the world’s biggest museums… but it isn’t big enough. Its curators and experts have amassed a mind-blowing collection of motoring exhibits, from record-breaking NASCARs and military hero machinery to one-off concepts and the world’s most uncomfortable-looking bike.

Problem is, there isn’t actually enough space inside the museum to showcase it all. So thousands of these treasures are locked away in a secret location, filling up what was once Ford Motor Company office space. And you’d never get to have a browse and hear the stories that lurk within – until now.

Join Top Gear Magazine’s Ollie Kew with Henry Ford Museum Transportation Curator Matt Anderson for an in-depth tour of this secret stash – and subscribe to the Top Gear YouTube channel so you don’t miss any of our future ultimate collection videos.
