Among New Exhibit at The Ford
by Gerald Scott
 Nobody in town and perhaps nobody in the country knows cars quite like the Henry Ford Museum.
 That’s not a given. They could be parochial and lean on Ford in favor of competing brands, but the Museum sure seems to get it right in overall terms of its big new “Driving America” motor exhibit, which opens Jan. 29.
 All brands, not just Ford, get their earned due in this bright new examination of America’s endless love affair with the automobile, the open road and the freedom it has all come to represent to more than a century’s worth of American motorists.
 Centered around an unparalleled collection of historically significant vehicles, this remarkable mix of authentic artifacts, digital media, interactive play and personal accounts focuses on the enormous influence the automobile has had on American culture – from the automotive innovations that have changed our lives to the everyday choices we make.
A 1978 Dodge Omni, forefront, is part of the vehicle layout at the new “Driving America” exhibit at Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn.
