Gilmore car museum |
Re: Gilmore car museum |
Re: Gilmore car museum Ten car museums on a single site and a grand one at that, all for one admission price. You'll not regret your visit.
|
Re: Gilmore car museum One of the best museums you'll ever find.
|
Re: Gilmore car museum Once I used mr Google I knew where the heck it was. Michigan.
|
Re: Gilmore car museum I think it is the best car museum in the USA. It's truly a car collector's car museum. Also, they hosts a variety of top notch car shows and events throughout the year.

Re: Gilmore car museum This one is a "must see" . Make sure you know how to get there as some GPS instructions will send you down some long dirt roads. This place requires at least one full day. Get there early when they open and stay until they throw you out. If at all possible, go for two days, it will be more relaxing. Car clubs use the grounds for many events even after hours. The park like setting and restored barns are good enough to visit even if you don't like cars.
My opinion |

These photos were taken in 2013 and since then, many new buildings have been added including the new Lincoln Motor Car Museum. There are so many things to look at you won't be disappointed. |

The official opening was in 2014. One very classy building, and just one of the attractions at Gilmores. Definitely worth a visit. |
Re: Gilmore car museum Trevor,
Thanks for sharing your photos. That's the Franklin Museum next to the Lincoln Museum and across the street and next to the Model A Museum is the Cadillac Museum (not shown) which opened later in 2014. |
Re: Gilmore car museum been there many times and always see something new, one of the best places i have ever visited.........
|
Re: Gilmore car museum A GREAT Museum and worth the drive and visit!!!! The Model A Museum building is built like a Ford dealer from early '30's and has "parts" department and a "showroom" floor. There are also some nice V8's as well in the multi buildings of the museum grounds

Lovely cars displayed in lovely surroundings. |
Re: Gilmore car museum I will need to put that on my bucket list.
Thanks for the idea. Vic |
Re: Gilmore car museum We visited in 2013 and the Lincoln museum was under construction, the A museum was great. I noticed a Plaque from 1929 in the Franklin museum from the dealership that was here in Portland.
If you have time and your with the little lady, get over to Frankenmuth it's a nice break from all the car things to do when in Michigan. |
Re: Gilmore car museum |

Re: Gilmore car museum Hickory Corners , Michigan. Thought I would never find it on first visit. A wonderful car collector experience. A must visit site.
|
Re: Gilmore car museum I looked it up on Google Maps to see exactly where it is in Michigan. Looks like a little over 100 miles west of Dearborn/Detroit, Mi. Putting this on my list of things to do the next time I'm in the Dearborn/Detroit area, maybe during the next EFV8 Club GNM.

Re: Gilmore car museum Mercman, thanks for posting your photos.
Conveniently located in the middle of nowhere. The best way to get there is US131 north from Kalamazoo then M89 east from Plainwell. Navigation systems will direct you on very interesting alternative routes. Some buildings have heat, you will have the best experience May to October. I have have some very cool photos I will post in coming weeks. |
Re: Gilmore car museum I have always wanted to drive the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and check out where the "Iron Mountain" plant was, plus the area is beautiful. It looks like the Gilmore Museum needs to be added to that trip! LouB.

Hi Everyone. The only car magazine I get is Sports Car Market. Saw this is the March '17 issue that arrived this week.
Text: "The Golden Age of Sports Cars: 1949-1967" brings Nicolas Cage's 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4, a Shelby Cobra 427 and a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing to the Gilmore Car Museum through April 2017. All told, almost two dozen exceptional sports cars will be on display at the museum in Hickory Corners, Mi. I've never visited, but thought I'd add this information to the thread. EDIT: Oops, I forgot the fabulous V8 Times that I wouldn't miss reading from cover to cover. |

Re: Gilmore car museum I'm going to be in the area with my classic GMC motorhome later this year and I asked about camping in the area of the Gilmore. Got this response.
Good Morning Bill, You can camp here on our grounds, and it is only $20 Best, Joe Hanson, Executive Assistant |

Re: Gilmore car museum Been there a few times. LOVE LOVE LOVE the smell in the old barns, the oil and grease smells. A good friend of mine has built several of the new barns over the last few years. That they're growing is fantastic.
Has one of the few Tuckers on display. Truth be told though, it's sensory overload after awhile. "Oh look, another million dollar Duesenberg. Yup. I'm thirsty, lets get a drink." |
