Model Ts and a paczek: A gallery of a doughnut looking at old cars

Paczki inspects Henry Ford's personal office at the Piquette Plant.

DETROIT – Every year, like the Great Pumpkin in Peanuts, Paczki the paczek comes to town and it's my job to give him a tour of Detroit landmarks. 

This is an absolutely absurd convention with which to celebrate Fat Tuesday, but people seem to like it for reasons beyond me, so the tradition continues on.

This year, with the help gracious assistance of Marion Christiansen from the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant heritage site, our lard-filled friend visited Piquette and a few other lesser-known sites significant to Detroit's automotive history. 

Say what you will about pictures of a doughnut looking at things, but the antique cars are amazing.
