We have visited the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island several times, and once reenacted the scene from the movie "Somewhere in Time" which was filmed there with Bud Jonas' 1910 Oakland. Our 1912 Oakland was at the dock in Mackinac City. Motor vehicles are not permitted on Michigan's Mackinac Island, a great place to visit. Thanks, Elpad, for a great memory. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

While the '55 is a striking and exceptional design,'the '56, at least in my opinion, is simplified, smoothed, more refined, elegant, and just plain cleaner in form. (This also applies to "Little Brother" Chevrolet.) 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but we travel loaded down also, as Mark Shaw can attest ! When we drive our old cars cross-country, knowing that a reasonable supply of parts, tools, and other assorted "junque" is along with us is reassuring. Link to post Share on other sites

KongaMan 1,232 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I see lots of stains on the asphalt. Next time you complain about your old car marking its territory, remember that it's running like it was new. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
