Re: Early Ford V8 Club 2023 Grand National Meet
"The long wait!!" ??
Which long wait: 1. For the mail to arrive? 2. For the check to clear? 3. For the meet to begin? The meet is only 359 days away. We will see if #1 or #2 takes longer. Counting the days....

Re: Early Ford V8 Club 2023 Grand National Meet
Redneck,
I live 328 miles from the front door of the hotel. Your house is 325 miles. I guess you are right - walking distance. We can be there by lunch. Ken

Re: Early Ford V8 Club 2023 Grand National Meet
Is the 2023 Grand National Meet going to be at the same host hotel that it was 5 years ago ?

No, it will be at the Doubletree, about 1.5 miles north.

Re: Early Ford V8 Club 2023 Grand National Meet
For those that remember the Munster house in the television show of the same name.........picture was taken April of 2021.
It used to be a fine place to stay. |

Re: Early Ford V8 Club 2023 Grand National Meet
I can't believe that the Edward Hotel in Dearborn has fallen into disrepair. It was a great place to stay in 2018. |

Re: Early Ford V8 Club 2023 Grand National Meet
The warts were there, just mostly hidden. I suspect that the land still belongs to Ford Land and that it is only the building structure that has an uncertain future. The big Sears store across the inner roadway is history as well. In the meantime, the land serves as a vast parking lot for unfinished F-150s awaiting for the rest of their electronic gear to arrive and be installed.

Re: Early Ford V8 Club 2023 Grand National Meet
It was a GREAT place to stay in 1993, 1998, 2003 and 2008.
I remember being assigned a room in 2018 and when we opened the door -- there was nothing. No furniture, no bed, no bathroom facilities. (no sink, no toilet, no bathtub/shower) |

Great Views from the Edward in Dearborn. Notice Ford Motor Company Head Quarters on The American Road in the distance. Last edited by mercman from oz; 06-22-2022 at 04:50 PM. |

Re: Early Ford V8 Club 2023 Grand National Meet
I made a trip to Dearborn in 2017 to spend time at The Henry Ford, spent three days at the museum. Traveled round a bit too, drove by "Fairlane" and was sad at the disrepair at that time. Went to the old Hyatt, now the Edward and found four whole cars in the parking lot! I was certainly surprised since I attended the 2008 Grand National Meet there and had a teriffic time and the hotel was great! I was also shocked to see what the City of Dearborn had become since 2008. With that said, I still hope to attend the 2023 Grand National Meet at the Doubletree.
