For those interested in August in Auburn hills I think the Woodward cruise is the same week.  All Chrysler corps brand cars and trucks welcomed.

The 2019 WPC Club National Meet will be held from August 13-18 in

Auburn Hills Michigan in conjunction with the Woodward Dream Cruise.

Hmmm.  I live near 12 Mile Road and Woodward, halfway between Pontiac and downtown Detroit.  Sometimes I get the 47 DeSoto Custom Suburban out, and do the DreamCruise.  Not much,  cruise from 12 Mile to 11 Mile, and take the local streets home.  Sometimes the best time to cruise is the evenings before the official Saturday event. 

 

And I might  visit the basilica.  The National Shrine of the Little Flower Basilica, at 12 Mile and Woodward, is a destination in itself, plus a Friday Night chicken dinner tents at the school, and Saturday activity tents on the church lawn.     

 

Contact me if you will be around for the WPC Meet.

We are planning to attend again this year. Thinking about spending the weekend before up in the U.P. of Michigan, with a possible visit to Mackinac Island.

Notice that they have the car show planned for Thursday, with awards banquet as a brunch on Friday, so that everyone is free to participate in the Cruise Friday afternoon and Saturday. They are also working on securing a parking area along the route for club members to park and watch or cruise.

We'll probably leave Saturday afternoon and head to Ludington, to catch the SS Badger car ferry back across Lake Michigan on Sunday morning.

Woodward runs north-northwest, so it's a 6- mile treck from 10 Mile Road to 15 Mile Road.

Then some of the names change.  15 Mile Road is Maple Road.  16 Mile Road is Quarton to the west and Big Beaver to the east.  Then come Wattles Road, Long Lake Road, Square Lake Road, and South Boulevard.

On DreamCruise day, free shuttle busses run (?) the distance.  If you get tired of walking, you can take ths shuttle bus.  But it would be quicker to walk.   

If you do the Cruise on that Saturday, August 17, 2019, be prepared for slow travel and many delays.  You will wear out your clutch foot and pusher fan.  But hey, go for it.

I'm really hoping the Plymouth is in proper shape to drive across the state to do the Dream Cruise this year.  I'll likely take Grand River all the way from beginning to end W to E with this original rear end lol.  NOT risking modern highways with the way people drive...

When you get to Old 23 we may pull in behind you if my 47 is driving by then.

Sounds great!  I used to live in Howell and my better half is from Brighton!  We will likely stop at a Coney Island because they don't have them out here, and that's just wrong lol.

It's a little over a month away now...

 

We've got everything booked for the trip and looking forward to the "get-a-way".

One night in Escanaba, MI so that we can give away some money at Island Resort & Casino

Two nights in St. Ignace, MI with a trip over to Mackinac Island

Four nights at the Marriott in Auburn Hills for the WPC meet. We'll depart Saturday afternoon after taking in the Cruise.

One night in Ludington, MI

One Ferry ride on the SS Badger back to Manitowoc, WI.

 

Look forward to seeing all that come out.

John, we didn’t get to see the Chrysler museum as they had a “special event” using the building that they couldn’t talk about. So we were not able to go there. However, they did open up their restoration shop/warehouse where they restore their museum collection and house many prototype and concept vehicles. It was an interesting visit, but we weren’t allowed to take any photos. 

 

Show day started out with a wet truck. Apparently it rained a bit earlier this morning. But I could easily wipe it down and get it prepped and staged. But it turned out to be a nice day, and even got quite sunny by afternoon. 

This year I had better competition in the truck class. Nice ‘67 Jeepster.
