Thanksgiving travel up sharply this year
Auto club AAA and the economic analysis firm IHS Global Insight are projecting that about 42.2 million Americans are traveling at least 50 miles from home this Thanksgiving weekend -- up 11.4 percent from last year. Most people will travel by car: Autos account for 94 percent of all Thanksgiving travel, and this year will see a 12 percent boost in driving compared with last year, the forecast says.

Ford Model A getting its own museum
A museum celebrating Ford's Model A is being planned for southern Michigan that will be housed in a building designed to resemble one of the automaker's old dealerships. Organizers hope to break ground next summer on the Model A Ford Museum at the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, about 115 miles west of Detroit. The effort to build the $1.6 million museum is led by the nonprofit Model A Ford Foundation Inc.
