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!



This one was a bit far from home...



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...



BBH does some volunteer work at the Buick Gallery and Research Center so that was our first stop.

During my visit they had a Corvette display going.



There was some neat old signs displayed;







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;
