Automotive Hall of Fame

O Automotive Hall of Fame (AHOF) é uma distinção a pessoas que se destacaram nas áreas de pesquisa e desenvolvimento da técnica automotiva.

História

Charles Brady King fundou em 1939 a sociedade Automotive Old Timers (AOT), da qual originou-se o AHOF.

Em Midland (Michigan) foi fundado em 1971 na área da Universidade Northwood um museu, que lá ficou durante 25 anos. A fim de aumentar a atratividade do museu, a direção do AHOF decidiu procurar um local nos arredores de Detroit, a "cidade do automóvel". Em 16 de agosto de 1997 foram inauguradas as novas instalações em Dearborn (Michigan), nas proximidades do museu ao ar livre que surgiu por iniciativa de Henry Ford.
