Location is Haarlemmerplein with Haarlemmer dijk in the background. Nowadays it is, dispite one-way traffic and a parallel fast route, always a big mess in this street, but back then all the traffic from Amsterdam to the West (Haarlem) used this street. -- Last edit: 2009-11-05 15:22:08

But it's quite irritating, that the "world's biggest Ford-collection", as written on the homepage http://www.fordmuseum.nl/cms/pages/english.php , didn't contain any of these Dutch assembled Fords. There are even no German Fords and nearly no British Fords (not to talk about Australian made ones or Asian derivates). When I've been there, 3 or 4 years ago, there were only US-Fords to see.
