The Great Car Museum Tour
July 14-23, 2006
California might be the best place in the world to drive, but the Midwest is nirvana when it comes to historic car sites and museums.
As a California kid, the big-time car building business has always been a bit of a mystery. We never made it up to the plants in Los Angeles when they were in operation (the last, a GM factory, closed in the early 1990s). And I haven't been able to take the tour at the NUMMI assembly facility in Fremont, about 500 miles from home.
So, I headed to Indiana, Ohio and Michigan to visit
cars new and old. What a fun trip. Hope you can take it some day.
