West Michigan

If anyone wanted to do a cruise on this side of the state I thought I would post this idea Welcome to the Gilmore Car Museum This could be a Friday night-Saturday type get together.
I know our days of cruising are short here in Michigan this time of year.

Scott, your link didn't work you left the "e" out of museum. that would be a good day ride as the museum is really neat. Welcome to the Gilmore Car Museum

I would love to see a tucker up close. I have seen the movie, what a shame they ran him into the ground.

Hey Scott
Put an E in museum. Then the link works. See Karen and you for dinner next Friday. Will give you a call on the way out.

Scott 0168 · 05-19-2008, 07:14 PM

Judy, I really do not have anything together as yet. I thought I would start with one date and see where it leads. After starting to try to do something in June, I forgot about graduation parties, weddings, etc going on in June. Any ideas out there let me know.

Hi Scott & Karen,

Michele & I are interested. Any weekend except Father's Day weekend. If you need help with anything, please let us know.

JP (Wizard)

Michele said there's a great place to eat in Allegan. The restraurant is called The Grill House. It's only about 30 (west) of the Gilmore Car Museum.

Scott 0168 · 05-21-2008, 04:25 PM

I know this is short notice , but here is what I'm planning. Saturday May 31, 2008 at the Gilmore Car Museum, their show that weekend is "The Grand Experience/Classic" featuring 50 years General Motors. See their web site posted above for more details.
I'm trying to get special parking for our SSR's. I figure we will attend the show Saturday and go out to dinner afterwards. Those signed up so far include:

Scott 0168 (Scott and Karen)
Marty (Marty and Dee)
Wizard (JP and Michele)
Mack 53616 (Denney)
Cool Blue (Carl & Judy)

Karen and I went over to the Museum site where the GM classic will be held. Its only about 12 miles from our house. Its located in some the the nicest farm country you will see in Michigan! Many old barns have been disassembled over the years and moved to the 300 acre site that house the many car collections. There's also an old original dinner that serves food and ice cream and also an old Shell gas station. Anyone thats not signed up is more than welcome to join us this weekend.
P.S. I secured special parking for our SSR's

Just got off the phone with Wizard and we are planning on meeting for breakfast at Perkins restaurant in Kalamazoo Saturday morning at 9:30 am. Any late comers are welcome to join us for breakfast before we head out for Gilmores.
Its just off I-94 at exit 80. Then go north on Sprinkle Rd. to the first light and its located on the corner.

HEY you guys,,
Sorry we were out of town this weekend, but we are waiting for some pictures. Does anyone have some to share with us that were not there???
Sure hope that you had a great time and the weather was good.
Judy

Scott 0168 · 06-01-2008, 07:03 PM

Hi Judy, wish you and Marv could of been there. I'm pretty sure everyone had a great time. We got some stories to share also. The weather turned out pretty good, no rain a little sun. We had one couple go out to dinner with us who we never meet before. They were from Ann Arbor, Mi. and had a red SSR.
See pictures from West Michigan thread.

Scott 0168 · 06-03-2008, 09:48 AM

Here's an article that was in last night Kalamazoo newspaper titled:

"Muscle in on rare cars"
"The Ultimate Muscle Cars' are on display at the Gilmore Car Museum". "The exhibit showcases 24 of the world's rarest and most sought-after muscle cars of the 1960s and 70s.
Check out the pictures in the West Michigan picture thread.
Maybe we can do it again next year.

Scott 0168 · 06-04-2008, 07:13 AM

Muscle car pictures posted on other West Michigan thread now!

Charlie® · 06-04-2008, 06:34 PM

Sounds like you guys had a GREAT time. Too bad I didn't check the site soon enough to join!

My dad & I have gone there the last two years in August. GREAT place!

Next year if I do it again, maybe I can get the notice out farther in advance.

OLDYELR · 06-05-2008, 12:10 PM

Just found out about it. Wish Judy and I had known as we were around all weekend and probably could have made it.

Guess I'll have to keep closer tabs on the sight.
