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.

John, I think we can manage a little side trip before or after the Grand National next year. Gilmore is approx. 130 miles from Dearborn (just over 2 hrs). And it's about 100 miles from there to the EFV8 Foundation Museum in Auburn, IN on the way home for ya too, if you're looking for another side trip. I know how you hate driving... Bryan

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.

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 |

They have a summer meet named " The Red Barn Spectacular " I am sure it's on their web site. There is a swap meet and folks can show their rides. If you go to that one, you get the musuem's, a Car Show, and a Swap Meet !

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."
