    If you're here long enough y'all ought to do a couple shop tours. If we know where you're at you may also get abducted for a night of light debauchery by the singlefinger gang. Gotta watch out for those guys, they're like MS 3 1/3...:D:D:D Seriously though, so much to see around here, hope you have a good visit.

  6. If you're in the Royal Oak area you might want to take in a meal and a lovely beverage at the Vinsetta Garage. :cool:

    Deora was one of my favorite Kustoms from the time I was 4 years old and it is still near and dear to my heart 47 years later.The coolest of all the Alexander Brothers creations.

    Just had a personalized tour of the really cool places in Ford history by a very well placed Ford exec. We dined at the "Garage" had incredible pizza and some excellent craft beer. Visited "Fairlane" Henry's and Clara's home, even stopped by their grave site. Then a special tour of Piquet plant, where the model t was invented. Also a tour of the Ford F150 assembly factory. Don't miss the Henry Ford Museum as well as Greenfield Village.

    I stayed at the Dearborn Inn the worlds first airport hotel built in 1923. This is across the street from the factory buildings where the Ford tri motor was built, now the Ford proving grounds and future engineering buildings.

    just sayin'

    The old Ford plant is awesome as stated, as is the GM heritage center! I've loved both & it was a great time.

    If you get a chance too do so, the old Michigan Theater / parking garage is truly a unique site. Pictures don't do it justice! 1476938511072.jpg 1476938515927.jpg
