Robert,

The roads are in pretty good shape these days and Auburn does not have a hotel big enough with the required on-site facilities for the size of the GNM. The latter rules out Auburn (which has zero historical connection with Ford other than the Foundation's museum) until the Club membership shrinks to the point where Auburn becomes a viable alternative. I agree with you about the virtues of grass versus asphalt unless it rains all week prior to the meet.

When in Hickory Corners, don't miss the Lincoln Motor Car Foundation's museum along with the other six there. Your Detroit friend's '31 K sport phaeton will be part of the permanent collection there by then.
