Looks like the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn. The parquet floor is an exact match. They used to have an annual sports car show from the 50’s thru the 70’s (?). Franklin is a nearby town. The Americana in the background would also fit in with the Ford museum connection.

looks like the Ford Museum and the Ferrari 250TR I believe is the Le mans winning car…..from foggy memory in the Ford museum for many years.
cheers from Italy

I agree the floor matches photos I have of the museum and I do not believe that Ferrari is on display with the new auto arrangement as of early this year but I do remember a Testrosa being on display in 1992. The car was stuffed in with some other vehicles towards the rear of the auto display area and near the trains. The background is in style and taste of the old Henry Ford Displays.

If you are into Franklin Automobiles there is a really great collection of them along with other fine classic cars at the Gilmore Museum about twenty miles north of Kalamazoo Michigan. …and while you are there see the Kalamazoo Air Zoo. It is an aviation museum but there are many cars and motorcycles on display to compliment the aircraft. the Franklin was aircooled and had a wood chassis.
