Motor Muster 2023 Celebrates Ford Flathead V8 Engine

Markku Jaakkola by Markku Jaakkola
June 27, 2023
Home Explore

Annual Motor Muster car show is held annually in Greenfield Village Michigan. All Restored, partially
restored, and un-restored vehicles can apply, but this show is not for hot rods or custom cars.  Although, I like them too, but this is not for them.

This year the theme was to Celebrate the famous Ford Flathead Engine. Ford Flathead V8 was produced from 1932 to 1953 and it was designed right there, in Greenfield Village. And because Ford Flathead is one of the most famous engines ever in Hot Rod circles (with early Hemi of course), it was exciting to see the Ford display.

Below are some vehicles from the Ford Display as well as from the show.

1951 Ford Custom Deluxe Convertible which was stunningly restored with every little detail. (Owner : Daryl Wilusz)

 

1949 Ford Custom Woodie Wagon. The prices on these Woodies have gone through the roof over the years and this is a pristine example of one. (Owner: unknown)

 

1953 Ford Sunliner Pace Car. This is the original Pace Car used at Indianapolis 500. Ford also built 2,000 replicas for 1953 (Owner: The Henry Ford)

 

1937 Ford “60” Flathead V8 (Owner: Willim Family)

1935 Ford Model 48 V8 Deluxe Fordor that was inherited by The Henry Ford from New York in 1960s. It’s completely original car, even the paint is original. It had little over 40k miles. (Owner: The Henry Ford)

 

1936 Ford 5-Window Deluxe Coupe. Color is called “Armory Green” which was one of the Ford’s Easter promotional colors. (Owner: Dave Benck)

The designers of this 1936 Coupe got the body lines just right. (Owner: Dave Benck)

This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is definitely one of the nicest Classic Chevy’s on the field (Owner: Unknown)

1951 Packard 200 sedan that seemed to be completely original (Owner: Jeffrey and Marsha Noel)

From left to right : 1955 Buick Super and 1957 Buick Special (Owner: Kyle Schultz)

You don’t come across a 1958 Buick Century Caballero Estate Wagons often. Here’s a top quality example (Owner: Joe and Julie Tonietto)

1960 Pontiac Bonneville 2 door Hard Top (Owner: Unknown)

King of the Road: 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe with some of the highest tail fins in the industry (Owner: Unknown)

While you are in Greenfield Village, you can have a ride in a T-Ford! Not sure how much the rides cost, but it looks like a fun experience.

Here’s a rear Ford. It’s a 1956 Crown Victoria Skyliner. In Skyliners the front part of the roof is glass (Owner: David Brown)

If you look really closely, you can see the two tone (body/roof) paint on this 1956 Lincoln Premiere (Owner: Joe Karasinski)

There’s no better color combination that says “1950s” than pink/white on a 1956 Ford Fairlane (Owner: Joe Zarazua)

1955 Studebaker President Speedster (owner: Larry and Patricia Gardon)

  • Tomorrow is the day 8/1/26 Saturday ! @pasteiners is having us a send off event for our Route 66 trip from 8-10am. Here’s a quote from their post

“Tomorrow morning, our good friends Markku Jaakkola and Jacob Gilbert are leaving from Pasteiner’s to travel to Chicago from where they take Route 66 to Santa Monica to honor a Finnish Mopar Enthusiast, Hans Granberg, who passed away in 2024. From Santa Monica they will continue to Monterey’s Car Week and will participate to the Quail Motorsports Gathering and Concour’s D’Lemons. And of course they will do this with Hans’s old 1973 Chrysler New Yorker. Please come on out and wish them well on their journey..”

See you all there !

  • Borrowed from @hagerty - best photo of the New Yorker so far crossing the Belle Isle bridge in Detroit - it’s the same bridge from where Houdini jumped off into detroit River in 1906 in handcuffs and leg shackles, freed himself underwater, and swam to a waiting boat.

  • As we get ready for the @route66centennial ‘The Legacy Run’, I keep thinking about how this all started — and about Hans ‘Hasse’ Granberg.
He was the first adult in Finland (where I grew up) who shared my enthusiasm for classic American cars and never treated my Detroit dreams like a joke. He spoke my language, saw my potential, and encouraged the path that eventually brought me here.
Hans passed away in 2024 at the age of 59, so now we’re taking his 1973 Chrysler New Yorker across Route 66 to celebrate him, the #route66centennial, and American open‑road culture.
This journey began with him, long before the car was pulled from the weeds — and now it’s finally happening.
