Metro Detroit....new show. 9-18-16

[MMissile]

This is a beautiful setting on Lake St.Clair, next to the GPYC. There is a marina, lakefront walk, pier, and a beautiful big-tree park setting. This park is generally only open to residents, and I'm looking to see if anybody has a really nice,drive-able ride to this event. This will be a growing event, and is sure to be a "must-do" in the future. Joe Pappas is bringing one of the "Mopar/Motown Missile" cars. If you have a nice [any brand] car, pre-1990...bring it out. There will be cider-donuts, free hotdog, chips, pop[for car owner/driver]....dash plaques, and several trophies. Music will be non-blaring... 60's, 70's, and 80's tunes. There is a concession stand. I used to run the security at this park for the Dept of Public Safety, some time ago. Nice place!!! See and please complete/return entry for my wife to get proper amounts of supplies/food. This is the 1st time, and should be a great start. Pre-registered folks will get dash plaques, until they run out. We have no idea how many will attend....but hoping for at least 100. NO TRAILERED CARS, unless it's something spectacular.

Thanks, and enjoy....Mike Ricketts/ Macomb Missile.

Hi folks. It's imperative that people that plan to attend this show, call or email the contact info[above]. This is a first time show, and a rough head-count will be very helpful in the planning of supplies. Please contact as a courtesy.

Thanks, Mike Ricketts/Macomb Missile.

Looks like we may have a good turnout for a 1st time show. 30 cars were registered as of Friday, and a few more today. Quite the variety, but maybe a bit mopar heavy. Fingers crossed for decent weather.

This one-off 1934 Ford-Brewster will be brought over from the Edsel Ford Jr. collection..........

LOL. So far, we have 2/3 mopars coming[registered]. Supposed to be a beautiful day....so bring out your mopar, and tell your brand-x buddies. It's a beautiful place.

Well, it was a great show. We had a herd of Mopars, some brand-X, and euro. The weather was perfect, and people with smiles were everywhere. Other than my friend's S. African a-body....not another was to be seen. I think it was all b&c bodies.

We already have some plans for next year's event, which will be larger and a bit more organized. With all the room in the park, you could park about anywhere.
