Gilmore and More

June 18, 2010

Just returned from my annual trip to the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan (just north of Kalamazoo) and was pleasantly surprised.  It’s more accurate to call this a “museum campus” because more than one museum is located there.  In addition to the Gilmore Car Museum, which was established years ago, there are more [...]

It sure was a whirlwind of activity; there are things going on from early in the morning 'til midnight just about everyday. Although it's not for everyone, if you're a real car [...]

Auction Insanity Underway in Arizona

January 23, 2010

Last week I asked a fellow collector is he was attending the Arizona car auctions.  He said that, instead, he was staying home and watching wrestling on TV.  Many collectors must wonder if the only way to buy or sell a collector car any more is at an auction.   There are so many auctions now [...]

December 23, 2009

OK, we've talked about the old cars of our dreams and the new ones we aspire to. Now it's time to wish for car stuff. You know, things that have a chance of actually fitting under the tree. When I say car "stuff", a lot of people's thoughts immediately go to tools.

It's that time of year and, for car guys*, there are endless lists of automotive related things to lust after. In trying to make my own personal wish list, I have tried to discipline myself into picking one thing from each category. Today's choice: an old car. When it comes to antique cars, my tastes [...]
