edinmass Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) Spent the day all over Michigan visiting with forum members that I have been in contact with over the years………… We have seen 8 Duesenbergs, Countless Cadillac’s, a world class collection of Kissel cars, more brass than you can shake a stick at, a V-16 Miller race car, and spent a few hours driving a exceptionally nice 1933 Cadillac V-12………and ended the day with a fabulous steak and a few Crown Royals………it’s a great hobby, and a fantastic forum. We saw well over 300pre war cars today. My best to all……..more photos tomorrow. Edited June 3, 2022 by edinmass (see edit history) 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC38dls Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Was this trip pure pleasure or a working (something most of us would not call your job outside the shop) field trip? Amp pics you can show will be appreciated by many that never get to have your adventures. Keep them coming please. dave s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinmass Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 There was a terrible disaster on tour today. The bar is opening 45 minutes late. So always being prepared like a good Boy Scout, we came prepared. 😎 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Ed. Be sure to check out the Henry Ford and Dearborn Village if you have never been. You need to check out the Massive generating unit from the Highland Plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30DodgePanel Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 What's with the 60s slide show in the first few posts? That Pierce Arrow barn looks like a really fun place to hold a show. Is this a yearly thing for them or is it something new? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinmass Posted June 7, 2022 Author Share Posted June 7, 2022 The Pierce club has a national meet every August at the museum. Most of the member museums have a corresponding national once a year.............if you go, always try for one of the dates for national meets.....you will see another bunch of cars on the field.

Walt G Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 It can probably be found on line but perhaps posting it here in this forum topic: when does the museum complex close down for the winter? Could help people plan their timing a bit better. Not sure how cold it gets by Autumn to walk around the vast fields between the buildings - wind may be a factor to consider , also how early the new season may start in the Spring.

bryankazmer Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 They're open year-round now. Go to winter hours Dec 1. Last "hosted event" is I think mid-October. The newer buildings are interconnected or close - the others are around the inner lawn. A mid-winter visit could be a cold walk-about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfle Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Here is the Gilmore Car Museum and Partner Museums Show schedule for this year. The schedule is similar every year. Even the Wednesday night cruise inns get 600+ cars in attendance. My shop is about 10 miles from the Gilmore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
