Congratulations. Looks great. I’m sure many will get the pleasure to enjoy it over the winter.

Drat! I was just at the Henry Ford museum earlier this week - I parked right near this other museum but, as I had already visited a couple months ago, didn’t go in this time... would have been cool to see your car!

The AHOF is only open on weekends and Fridays in the winter, I believe...

Michael,

So cool to see your car in this environment. Kind of a functional museum-piece, if you will. Your devotion to your car and pagodas in general makes you a perfect candidate for this honor.

Perhaps we could start a thread: Unique spaces for (winter) storage? When a new Mercedes dealer opened in my hometown of Springfield, Massachusetts, a buddy half jokingly suggested to the owners that his friend was looking for a place to stash his 230SL for the winter. The rest is history.

Looks great Kevin.  Congratulations!  The latest edition of "The Star" received today has an article and a picture of Michael's car in the museum.  You should request equal space!
