Ford throws open the doors to its new Vault, unveiling 125 rare historic vehicles

ROMULUS, Mich. (AP) — Ford will open the doors to its new Vault this weekend to some lucky gearheads and fans of history.

Tickets were snapped up quickly, but Ford Motor Co. said there will be future showings.

Ford's collection of historic vehicles once was housed at its Dearborn, Michigan, headquarters and other locations.

The Vault brings together 125 of the Heritage Fleet's historically significant vehicles, including race cars, design concepts and vehicles tied to pop culture.

"Here, we can actually have a purpose-built space for the cars," Ford Archives Manager Ciera Casteel said.
