I needed to be in Detroit the coming weekend and since Jim had things to attend it worked perfectly. We still hadn't picked up my NY from Kansas so I dropped Jim off in downtown Chicago and continued towards Flint in the V10 truck. Thanks man! ![](http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc487/Forwardlook_3/USA%202013/DSC_0333_zps9f6f552d.jpg) This one was a bit far from home... ![](http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc487/Forwardlook_3/USA%202013/DSC_0345_zps2e58ae1a.jpg) BigBlockHead from Finland studies at Kettering in Flint so I took him to the weekend activities in lower Michigan and he showed me the local stuff in Flint. Good deal. No furrin cars for us. He drives a Cadillac but wants a C-body... ![](http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc487/Forwardlook_3/USA%202013/DSC_0346_zpsc321de58.jpg) BBH does some volunteer work at the Buick Gallery and Research Center so that was our first stop. http://www.sloanlongway.org/buick-gallery![](http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc487/Forwardlook_3/USA%202013/DSC_0429_zps90d2ce34.jpg) During my visit they had a Corvette display going. ![](http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc487/Forwardlook_3/USA%202013/DSC_0355_zps573329ed.jpg) There was some neat old signs displayed; ![](http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc487/Forwardlook_3/USA%202013/DSC_0354_zpsfae7f8e3.jpg) ![](http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc487/Forwardlook_3/USA%202013/DSC_0356_zpsd498a8a9.jpg) ![](http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc487/Forwardlook_3/USA%202013/DSC_0359_zpsfe440af9.jpg) It doesn't hurt to be able to go to the storage area. The best stuff was definitely here; OK. just got the word from BigBlockHead that for some reason or another I can't post any pics of the stuff in storage. I'll delete these. Sorry guys! Yup, that is the 1951 Buick XP-300 concept! This Wildcat had been donated to the museum; Some restoration work is also performed on premises; ![](http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc487/Forwardlook_3/USA%202013/DSC_0388_zpseb14fd8c.jpg)

This has been my favorite summer vacation story in years !!
Thank you Sir! A lot more to come, we are not even close to half way.
My taste in cars might not be the mainstream, thus a lot of C-bodys, trucks etc. I like the odd stuff. And I like the performance cars from the big three in the 1957-64 era. I hope that doesn't make the thread less interesting...
