A few more to add to DavidG's post. Had the pleasure of not only going to the Gilmore at the EFV8 Grand National this past June but seeing David's absolutely stunning and fabulously restored Lincoln, it was the the highlight of my visit to say the least.

The museum was a side trip at the Grand National Meet in Dearborn last year. I'm so glad it made the trip as it was quite an amazing place. Plan to spend at least one full day just to walk around to all of the buildings. I though the exhibits were well arranged and I learned a lot. Lots of great cars! A bit out of the way but if you like cars, it's a must see.

DavidG - What a wonderful donation you have made. I'm glad you are happy with it and now so many people will get to see your car.
