    Just wondering if anyone is going or has been to one of the previous swap meets? Mostly older parts or could there be some early 70's parts?

    I've been tossing around the idea of heading up there to check it out. Do they normally have a good turn out?

    I'm not big on swap meets I'm just curious, and I always wanted to check out the museum.
    I could go to the early church service and make it up to the swap meet at 11:00 AM or so. Slide over to the Sloan Museum which opens at 12:00 PM. I also want to look at a car for sale in Hartland so there is an added incentive.

    I'm going....the turn out is different from year to year, but usually there is a nice variety of stuff that covers a range of years. This is definately a get there early swap-the vendors have (in previous years) packed it in early in the afternoon.

    Flint visit

    It turned out to be a great day for a drive. The museum is small by museum standards but very informative. It gives you a feel for how Flint evolved into Buicktown. Unfortunately the Buick Gallery is not open on Sundays. Roberta directed me to the plot of land where the assembly plant used to be. It was depressing driving through Flint with all the vacant buildings. :ball:

    Unforunately the Gallery is only open during the week, so Eric, you missed some good stuff, but at least I got to meet you and see your '73 and you got to meet a few other Michigan Buick people.
    Next shot is the Michigan Buick Performance Club Christmas Party on December 2nd at Noon at Gracies in New Lothrop, MI, and an after party, members look for a flyer in the next week or so!
