Richard is right...this is a fantastic show. Last year, the Ypsilanti Orphan Car Show was billed as the biggest orphan car event in the world. I was surprised to learn of this claim, and proud to show my AMC there, nevertheless.

Instead of music coming from the speakers, you do indeed hear two auto historians giving a brief talk of each model that comes through the pass-in review. They don't do formal judging, but there is a best in class award for each class. It really is a topnotch show all the way.

Hi, Richard! Hopefully, I'll see you at this show.
