We've been at Iowa 80 several times but didn't know they had a museum. That's pretty neat. Thanks for the photos.

I like the museum :clap: , we have been there many times, especially for the truckers jamboree in July,, lot of nice semi's, older trucks and pickups come our for the ,, we usually spend 4-5 days there for that since my rollback has a class for it + with no charge for the trucks in the show field, 2 nights of free food, always some good live bands, 2 nights of fireworks, free showers 10% off anything in whole truck stop except diesel and electronics , we go every 2 years and this is the year we get to go hopefully.. Dan I am glad you took some good pics of Ford's

The little Iowa/Illinois group met there a few months ago for breakfast and then want to the museum. Good little trip.

Thanks for stopping by, Dan. Good to see you again and visit a little. Now 3 people in the group have seen that I do have a truck, since I never actually take it out of the garage!

SPark
1932 Ford 5 window coupe. 302/C4
1962 8V-390/C6 Unibody Short Bed Soon to be Big Window - The Lincoln that never was
2013 F150 Super Crew Eco Boost 4x4
2015 Ford Edge for the little lady, because she said so!
2007 Mustang GT, 4.6-3V/5 Speed. Only 8680 miles on the clock.

More toys, I need more toys!!!
