Wonder why ford wont allow maybee limited number small guided tours in this collection .Car manufacturers are not making much money if any so it would be a money making venture .OSF might consider making contact with the relevant people at this place and have some 20 odd people at a time on a tour .What do the admin team think about this suggestion .
