SHORT SHIFTS
the 1920 Pierce-Arrow gifted to Donald Gilmore by his wife Genevieve in 1963. After 50 years, the museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan, is now home to hundreds of cars and motorcycles, as well as 75 vintage pedal cars. The displays are housed across a 90-acre campus, which includes eight historic barns, a 1930s service sta- tion and a quaint small-town train station. In addition to the Fabulous Hudsons in the main gallery, Traditional Hot Rods is a new exhibit planned for the summer. May 18 was a big day for Gilmore, as the new Model A Ford Museum opened on the property, which coincided with groundbreaking for the new Lincoln Motor Car Founda- tion Museum. Other great upcoming events include the Corvair National Meet on July 20, Henry Ford’s 150th Birthday Celebration on July 31, the Pierce-Arrow Gath- ering on August 25 and the Buick Bash on September 7.
