I wasn't able to attend any of the shows I'd hope to this past summer, however, I did manage this one with a little help. It was a great day, and I totally enjoyed spending some time with these glorious automobiles. The Pierce-Arrow Mid-Western Meet at the Gilmore Car Museum.
Here's a couple of shots I took from some surrounding upper windows in a couple of the campus buildings. They show the field, and the majority of cars displayed.
Along with these, I toured most of the Museum buildings on campus. I of course, had to go to the Pierce-Arrow Museum and inside I found this wonder. I've seen this car once before several years ago on display at a Concours D'Elegance. It was better presented and easier for photos in the outdoor setting.

What a fantastic experience, I've heard of this museum but have never been there. It looks amazingly beautiful and well thought out. Sounds like you have fun! 😎 😎

Thank for posting these pictures John. What A great experience for you .Here's a few more pictures of Fatty Arbuckle's Pierce Arrow that I took just before it was auctioned off at Barrett Jackson, Scottsdale in 2013.

Pierce Arrow is such a handsome, dignified marque and yet one hears so little of it, (even less, Peerless). So it's a pleasure to see so many all at once. For no other reason than that it is a Pierce Arrow, I post a particular favourite 1/43 of mine (unmarked).

John Merritt's comment on his wife got acquainted with a fair number of benches and other seating devices during the visits t car museums. Here's my wife nearing the end of a long day at the Gilmore Museum. Photo taken in the Cadillac Dealership on the Gilmore campus. She was a real trooper that day.
