On the way back......Gilmore

[HoarseWhisperer]

On the way back from Oshkosh, we just HAD to check the progress of the Model A Ford Museum at the Gilmore, Hickory Corners, Michigan..........

 

[HoarseWhisperer]

Of course we needed fuel, too..............

 

[HoarseWhisperer]

Would you trade your "A" for a Duesy????

You really shouldn't encourage me. Now for vacation slides.

Nobody leave the room!

------------------------------------------
Following the meet, we followed our friends up to Door County, which is the Wisconsin Peninsula between Green Bay and Lake Michigan..........

 

[HoarseWhisperer]

Nice night to put the A's to bed.................................,

........only to way up to nasty storm in the morning. Large hail passed just to the south of us. Whew!

 

[BudP]

Hope you stopped for ice cream at Wilson's in Door County-and, took in a fish boil!

 

[HoarseWhisperer]

Scenic stops in the "Door" and of course, Ice Cream................

 

[HoarseWhisperer]

Of course, Bud. Took in both.

Seagulls would swoop down in an attempt to eat the cones right out of our hands!

While in Door County, a stop at Fred and Fuzzy's waterfront grill is a must.

Mo is probably wondering, "Do I have to get in the hot truck again?"

Thank you for the pictures... And where do i sign up for the trade.. Duesy....

Yep, ever time I see a Duesy, I imagine myself driving one...............

Then I imagine stone chips; never being able to park and leave it unattended................ then reality sets in.

What a masterpiece of design and engineering.

I do the same with Packards, but then realize I probably don't have the wherewithal to maintain one.

Is it the wherewithall or the walletwithall?




HoarseWhisperer, thanks for the pictures. Looks like you had a great and memorable time.

Four Model A's from our Ontario group took the SS Badger across the big pond.

We trailered the southern route as I needed to pickup a C. E. Taylor luggage trunk in Crystal Lake, Illinois and attend a family wedding in Milwaukee.

They reported the Badger as a pleasant enough experience, although expensive.

My wife and I took the SS Badger across after leaving the MARC convention early Friday. There were 17 Model A's that joined our P/U and vintage camper for the "bucket list" ride. Great group of guys and gals! Gar Williams
