Each year for the past 6, we've had a nice little car show at my store, Glendale Auto Supply in Farmington MI.
We started doing it as a customer appreciation/ open house for our loyal customers who have poured their love, sweat and hard-earned cash into fixing up their rides. We've had as many as 60 cars displayed while we dished out hot dogs, chili, and soft drinks.
The best part has been getting the customers to meet each other, swap stories, share tips and create some lasting friendships. A pair of our attendees even created a DVD slide show set to music of our 2000 show. I've included a few screen captures in this post (thank you, John and Bob!

)
This years show, our 6th, is scheduled for this coming Sunday, August 24, from 10 am until (at least) 3 pm. Everyone who finds themselves in the SouthEastern Michigan area is invited to come out, say "howdy" to the grumpy one, meet some great car folks and see some great cars.
If you want to come and need directions, pm me here or email to :
glendaleautoshow@yahoo.com and I can send you a map. Or you could MapBlast this address: 23281 Orchard Lake Rd, Farmington, MI 48336.
