DEARBORN, MI-- The hoods are up at The Henry Ford as visitors get a rare chance to look at the engines of more than 50 iconic vehicles on display.
The special exhibit, Engines Exposed, will give visitors a closer look at more than 100 years of automotive engineering and innovation. "From the dual power hybrid engine found inside the 1916 Woods Coupe, a vehicle 80 years ahead of its time, to the engines that powered the 1965 Goldenrod to a land speed record."
Engines Exposed features the incredibly rare, 1931 Bugatti Type 41 Royale, one of only six Royales ever made by Bugatti. The Royale cost $43,000 when it was built, which is equal to a nearly $675,000 price tag today.
