If you can stay....I highly recommend staying for lunch at the famous Duggans located on Woodward Ave. A great atmosphere with 2 levels and opened windows to watch the cruisers go by and feel the breeze. Shopping for souvenirs on this day is also better as everything goes 1/2 off

It's time to start bumpin this thread up

If you are planning on participating in the Largest Classic Car Show in the World......please begin signing up Having an approx headcount will help out with planning the event schedule for this years WDC

Should the need arise that we may need a Banquet Hall they require a 3-6 months notice along with a deposit. I will only go this route if the headcount reaches above what a restaurant can not accommodate

Dates of this years WDC are posted in post#1

We've owned two SSRs over the last couple of years. We sold a 2004 to buy a 2005 manual. We have 8 cars and the SSR is one of my favorites. We plan to keep it as a collector car so we don't drive it very much. We live in downtown Birmingham and literally walk out our garage to enjoy the WDC. In 2008, GM used 4 of our vehicles to represent their 100 years...sorry, the SSR was not one of them. I'm interested in learning more about how I can help with your 2009 banquet. Todd

[davidandjulie]

[BikerBruce]

Kim and I are going to be there again this year!

Hi Debbie,
When you get things going again, you can tentatively add me to the list. I've got the summer off this year , so I am going to try to make as many events as possible.
Thanks, David
