Pontiac Museum field trip
 

Heading to the Pontiac museum tomorrow, more the merrier. Afternoon tour.

I'm volunteering as a docent tomorrow 2-6 pm.

See you then.

I'll be at work...

Swing by ….whos going to know

See you there Keith. Any free stuff we can have ?

Nah.

I'll give you a tour of the basement and Phase 3 areas (normally closed to the public).

"Work".

Ah - yes. I remember.

I was down at Greenfield Village for the 90th birthday celebration of the Model T, during a long lunch break.

All the news teams were there, and Edsel Ford II was parade marshal.

One of my buddies said "Cmon and ride around with us!"

I was like "Nah. For sure I would end up on Channel 7 news and I would have my dad, my boss, and my wife asking why I was down at the village today."

I might be able to make it Burd, it would be great to catch up with both you and Keith, and see how the basement is coming along.

I'm planning one seeing the museum in late June during the POCI convention

(I realize I'm a day late, but still wanted to chime in.)

Jealous :cry:

Isn't this the museum which has the 'low mile' 70 Formula that had a repaint?

Pretty cool place. Rite off the loop ,in Pontiac.

More,

* heard today, poci won’t happen at the M1 complex.

Just found out I have to work in Flint Tomorrow, so I'm out Burd, But have fun and say hi to Keith for me.

That car is presently in the Pontiac Illinois museum.

Haven't seen it so I can't comment on the paint.

/\ the paint was a curiosity that left people questioning the mileage;
Apparently it was getting refurbished early on, and something happened to damaged the paint - so the original owner had it repainted.

IIRC it has something like just over 400 miles on it... there 's a whole thread on that car here.

It was a lot of fun. It was great seeing you again Keith. What a cool museum. That would be a fun field trip sometime, museum and lunch or dinner.
