www.michigantbirds.org May, 2016 Volume 36 Issue 5 What a beautiful day we had for our visit to Vanguards. The sun was shining and the temperature was near perfect. With a great turnout of 40 or more WWTC members, with a few of them driving their own classic cars. WOW what a sight as we were able to stroll through the warehouse with all of the fantastic cars on display. Among the cars were a black 1967 Thunderbird with suicide doors, Candy Apple Red 1952 Ford Tudor Sedan and a 1965 Ford Econoline that a few of the members mentioned that they may have seen the program where they built and customized it. There was also Mustangs, Corvettes, GTO s, Chevelle s, and Roadrunners. I m sure more than a few of you found the car of your dreams. We then drove the few miles to Karl s Cabin to have a good meal, great conversation and all around good company.
