BUICK RACER Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 The Michigan Buick Performance Club, aka Michigan Chapter Buick Gran Sport Club of America is inviting you to join us on Saturday, March 17th, 2007 to tour the GM Heritage Center in Sterling Heights, MI, at this time we are only looking for how many of you would be interested, numbers only. There is a $2500 fee to tour on Saturday, so we are looking at $20 per person if we can get 125 folks to commit. Or could be less if we get more than 125. We will also plan a luncheon afterward but that would be seperate from the tour, more on that to come. So to get this together, please me know if you are interested, by 12/15/2006 so we can lock this date in with the Heritage Center and get an admission price appropriate.

The Old Guy Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I have been there twice, and will go again! GM has a policy of changing about 20 of the cars on display every week, and they have an almost endless supply of really great vehicles to choose from. It is not open to the public, so if you haven't been there , this is an opportunity that may not present itself again for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gecco Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I would be interested as well! I presume we could bring a friend that may not be a BCA member? If so, count 3 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Eaton Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Good idea Roberta, wish I could be there.I do have a idea/suggestion. Any way you and the Flint club could arrange for the Heritage Center to be available for tours the week of the 2008 national meet? It could be Tuesday or Wednesday before the meet starts. Those of us that live thousands of miles away can only stop when we are in the vicinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the41cadguy Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I was there on Friday with the CLC. The "Y" job wss there. And they don't turn the cars every week. Sometimes it is every day, or day or two. This is the candy store supreme! When you finish your stay, you will believe Charlie Wilson when he said, "What's good for GM is good for the USA. See if you can find out why Pontiac had "bunny ears" on their hood ornament a couple of years before Cadillac's use of them in 1957 and 1958. Enjoy the tour. It will be well worth your while.

Guest 57wagon Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Folks - I cannot stress enough - if you can go, Get there! I was there last year for a Camaro event...grown men cried at the treasures each turn up each row of cars presented. I nearly fainted, as the Y job and Lesabre were together - side by side...I touched them both. It is Automotive Nirvana if you are a GM fan. Best day of my life as a car guy. Ranks up there with meeting Chip Foose at his shop and sitting down with Charlie and talking shop. $1000 admission fees would be acceptable to get into this show. I would pay it!!!

Guest gecco Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Roberta, if you can get 57wagon to pay $1,000, do the rest of us get a bigger break on the admission? <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest festid Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hello Roberta; I'm contemplating flying into town for this event (and couple others) from Minnesota and just wonder what kind of reservations I need to get in before I book a flight. Can I be guaranteed I'll get in? Obviously, I can take care of myself regarding travel arrangements, I just mean getting into the Heritage Collection. Thanks.
