What do a 1909 Model T and a 2004 Saleen Mustang Have in Common?

  1. They’re both made by Ford.

  2. They’re both at Simple Pleasures.

  3. And, they’re both incredibly uncomfortable.


But hey, that’s part of the charm!


Let’s rewind: The Ford Motor Company was just entering its second production year when the 1909 Model T rolled off the line, and now it's parked right at Simple Pleasures. This beauty is unique: it’s an all-wood limousine (yes, wood!), complete with wooden bodywork, kerosene-fired headlamps, and a single tail light that looks like it came from a miner’s toolkit. It’s basically a campfire on wheels.


Now fast-forward nearly a century to the 2004 Saleen Mustang—bright blue, lightning-fast, stiff clutch, and personally signed by racing legend Steve Saleen himself. (Fun fact: Saleen Mustangs are to modern muscle what Shelby was to the ’60s. In other words: very fast, very cool, and very hard on your back.)


Between these two extremes lies the full story of American roads: family cruisers, muscle machines, and the chrome-covered dreams of bankers, doctors, and attorneys. You’ll find Fords, Chevys, Mercurys, DeSotos, station wagons, Cadillacs, and more—all sharing the same lot and same rich legacy.


Simple Pleasures isn’t just a car museum—it’s a full-on guided tour of automotive history. Real experts and passionate owners are on hand to share stories, answer questions, and bring the past roaring back to life.


And remember—cars are just one part of the Simple Pleasure' dinner and entertainment experience—it’s like dinner theater, but with more horsepower.
