The Gilmore Museum was a large highlight on my trip to Mich. a few years ago. Donations like this make it worth going back soon. Scott

That is fantastic!

They get any more donations like that, they are going to have to expand BIG time!

Is it in the works???

This is a great example of how the Model A/AA was used in America. A great donation to a very important Museum. Gilmore is a great place. I went several year ago and since several marques have open museums including our Ford Foundation. Lets continue to support our museum with visits and monetary support.

Great truck. Conjures up images of those old Mack Sennett Keystone Cops shorts, or this one:

Also needs a proper matching fire chief's car to go with it.
