Thanks for posting. I wish you would have posted a month ago... Just got back from MI after going to the Gilmore Museum and seeing friends in the Flint area and Grand Rapids. I'm sure we could have fit this into our trip.

For others - these are the hours:

Museum Regular Open Hours are as follows:

Thursday / Friday 10 AM to 6 PM
Saturday 10 AM to 6 PM (we returned to our fall/winter/spring hours as of September)
Sunday 12 PM to 5 PM

Did you happen to go to Sloan Museum in Flint?

My GTO is on display through September.

Didn't know about the Sloan Museum...

We actually met for dinner in Frankenmuth at the Bavarian Inn so we could have a German dinner. My wife really wanted to go to Brommer's - we decorate 5 Christmas trees at our house. The company was great (hadn't seen them since December 1976).

As to the dinner - the wiener schnitzel was mediocre at best.

I was thinking your GTO was at Gilmore - but it was someone else's car.

Maybe we need to make another trip...

No - you are correct.

It was at the Gilmore from June of 2018 to November of 2021.

I'm taking advantage of the whole "heated, secure, indoor winter storage" aspect.
