Any VWs in the Henry Ford Museum car collection? Certainly no Vanagons.
Long after Henry #1's death in the 1940s the Ford Motor Company made multiple attempts to reprise the success of the Model T.
My 1960 Falcon and the later Pinto, Maverick and Focus come to mind.
The Beetle made few inroads in our suburban Detroit neighborhood of the 60's- career suicide to drive one to your Big Three auto job.
VWs strategy of offering a basic model with few yearly changes or improvements certainly originated in Dearborn.  I recall a few Ford employees driving tiny little Fords built in British and German factories. George
