I was wondering how they got this set up. This is a great video. So they had to puch the cars in. This will be their home until September 2009. Thanks to the Henry Ford for bringing history to my door.

This is one of the many things most people dont realize goes into setting up an exhibit like Rock Stars. What other behind the scenes videos would you like to see from The Henry Ford? Thanks for visiting!

I want to see a rockstars and guitars 3 with more jimi Hendrix stuff. Because when I saw the one at rock stars and guitars 2 I freaked out I would pay money to see jimi Hendrix clothing, guitars, picks, and string stuff like that. And this is the year to do it because this year is 40 years ago from when he died
