Yesterday I attended another car show at the Gilmore Car Museum. This one was the Orphan Marques Car Show sponsored by the Pierce-Arrow Museum. It replaced the annual Pierce-Arrow Gathering at the museum. This show opens the show field to more makes instead of just Pierce-Arrows, which usually only had about 30 cars in attendance. I had hoped for a show similar to the previously held show in Ypsilanti, Michigan. There were a lot of nice cars displayed, but I hoped for more from the traditional orphan makes like Hudson, Studebaker and Packard. 

I've prepared some photos this morning with one car from each decade that will cover 6-decades from the 20s to the 70s.  Here's one each from the 20s & 30s.

WOW!  Great pics John!  But then your pics are always great!  Just looking at the cars, the realization of a calmer, quieter, and gentler time is a place we'd all like to visit often.  THANKS FOR SHARING!
