<VV> GM Heritage Museum...off topic?

[mark at noakes.com]

I am always covert about being away from home until I am back home, but 
we just got done with a combined work/vacation trip to Chicago and 
Michigan doing museums when I wasn't working. Amongst all the places, I 
took about 500 photos.

I won't bore you with the whole long list except to say that Gilmore 
Museum, Hickory Corners, MI is incredible, and I had never even heard of 
it before this. The boys complained that they had no Corvairs, but it 
specializes in early 20th Century cars and/or really upscale cars.

Last Friday we got to tour the GM Heritage Museum. Other than a handful 
of staff working on some indiscernible project, we were the only ones 
there.

Since this is about Corvairs, I guess I shouldn't mention all of the 
other vehicles there except that I was looking at all of the show cars 
first hand that I had only seen in books and videos since I was a little 
kid plus a ton of best examples of many GM vehicles and racecars.

My only disappointment was that many of the vehicles were stacked 
closely enough that I couldn't get good pictures. Corvairs included 
about the best Greenbrier I've ever seen, several 69s including an 
excellent green Monza convertible (can't touch so didn't check the VIN 
as to which one it was), the 66 Electrovair, and the Monza SS and the 
SuperSpyder...a handful of others as well. I took about 60 pictures in 
the GM center; a few of the most relevant to FastVair are included per 
below (SuperSpyder and Monza SS)...sorry, couldn't resist adding a few 
of the many nonCorvair shots.

I was told that vehicles are regularly rotated in and out of the display 
so don't know what will be there in the future.

I don't know how to do pictures for VV, so I put up a folder under 
photos on the FastVair Yahoo directory named "GM Heritage Museum June 
2012" and stuck to the more modified images.
