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.

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.

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.

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)

Scott 0168 · 05-28-2008, 07:46 PM

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
