Don't equate the Henry Ford Museum with the Ford Motor Company.
Although Ford Motor Company does provide funding which I'm sure is
vital to their existence.
The Ford Museum has nothing to do with what Ford manufactures.

Ford.  That's funny.  Insult on injury.  At least Ford can build a car
I 
want, the Mustang.  On the other hand, that new Camaro looks pretty
cool. 
I've always been too big for a 'vette (6'3", 300lbs won't fit).
