West Office worked with The Henry Ford Museum to rework and upgrade the existing Automobile in American Life exhibition to focus on how the automobile went from an invention in the workshops of a few tinkerers—including Henry Ford—to an innovation that changed the fabric of American culture and society, with both positive and negative effects.
