29th Orphan Car Tour, Burkittsville, MD

Event created by Jon37

The Orphan Tour is a driving tour for "orphan" (discontinued-make) vehicles, at least 25 years old.  Each succeeding tour moves to a different location in the greater Baltmore / Washington area.  The Tour is sponsored by five local chapters of national "orphan" clubs.

 

This year's tour takes place on Saturday, June 5, 2021.  It starts in Burkittsville, MD (north of Brunswick). It runs about about 65 miles in length, passing several points of interest, at which drivers may stop.  It ends in Bluemont, VA. with an (optional) buffet dinner.  The registration cost is $10 per car, and cars can be registered either beforehand or on the day of the tour.  The buffet dinner requires a pre-paid registration.  Although the cut-off date was May 25, contact us after that date to see if any dinners are still available.  The Tour will be held, rain or shine.

 

A flyer is available at the Tour's website, http://www.orphancartour.org/ .  Click the "HOT" button for the flyer and the latest updates.

    We thank those who attended the tour.  Fifty-three cars, containing 97 drivers and passengers, gathered at the Burkittsville (MD) Ruritan Club, and embarked onto a route that proved to be 67 miles long. Later, 73 people partook of a tasty buffet dinner at the Blue Ridge Vol. Fire & Rescue in Bluemont, VA.  The weather was dry but hot, so a few people drove their modern iron.  We had all manner of orphan makes represented: AMC (several models), Corvair,  Crosley, DeSoto, Kaiser, Mercury, MG,  Oldsmobile, Packard,  Plymouth, Pontiac,  Saab, Studebaker, Thunderbird, and Willys (Jeepster).  The Tour is a cooperative effort of five Maryland / Virginia / Pennsylvania chapters of national "orphan" clubs.
