A Walk Through the Gilmore Car Museum

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This is a 75 minute quick walk through the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan, about 15 miles northwest of Kalamazoo. This is a huge and very well funded collection of antique and vintage automobiles. I hope that this brief tour give you a taste of the place, and encourages you to visit in person.

    At the 12:52 mark, that was actually the shooting set used in the 1967 Disney film, The Gnome Mobile. It was to make the gnomes look as though they were in the back seat of the actual Rolls Royce located to the left of the set.

    At the 10:00 minute mark of this video, you brought back some memories for me. I, too, had a "Kiddie Car" I believe they were called. Mine was also not a fancy model more like the ones you pointed out as being like the one you had. For the life of me I have no idea where my parents would have saved enough money to buy one for me, but I remember having a lot of fun on it. I also have no recollection of what happened to it. All I seem to remember is it was red, faded red, so maybe it was a used one. Loved it. Thanks for the memories.

    Nice work! You were there on my birthday...and about two months after my first (and so far only) visit to the Gilmore Car Museum. I'd viewed a number of your aircraft museum tours before watching this one and I couldn't help but note that unlike those others, where you often knew an aircraft before you even got to it, that didn't happen here -- with the possible exception of the Tucker, which you ID'd as one of your favorites. You said the same for the Nash Metropolitan and the Corvair Rampside Pickup. So, curiosity compels....do you consider yourself a "car guy" of any sort? Or of any brand/era/nationality? If so, what cars at Gilmore really floated your boat (if you'll forgive the misapplied metaphor)? BTW, right after the Corvair Rampside you said you weren't familiar with the Chevy Apache Cameo. Check out the quarter panels on both it and the Dodge D100 Sweptside pickup that follows: those were both fiberglass "skins" over the standard regular bed/fender combo, a big leap in the process of applying car styling to what had generally been to that point a utilitarian form-follows-function vehicle.

    I am NOT a "car guy", or a "boat guy" either, and know a lot more about aircraft. But I still appreciate a good museum, and do visit car and boat museums, as well as other kinds.

    There are signs identifying all the cars, unfortunately you can not read any of the because the lens is opened too far.

    gmamagillmore, this is a "walk through" to let potential visitors know about the museum and get an idea of what is in it before they visit. If I stopped to show all the signs, the video would be at least three times as long and would not serve the intended purpose.

    Just a thought...next time you shoot video to post? Slow down a bit, not a lot. Just half as fast as you went. That's all! Well, one more thing, you should actually look at your screen to see what your camera is capturing. Thanks for posting

    Uservm9etc, this is a walk through video, not a museum documentary. I don't get paid to do these, and usually have to fit them into available time when I pass through on vacation. The idea is to let others know that the museum exists and generally what it is like. Anything beyond that which I am able to include is a bonus.

    Umm... re the right hand drive Ford .. “the wrong side of the road” indeed.... as most people are right handed... before cars, horses were the main mode of transport, one held ones sword, lance etc on the right and stayed to the left of your coming assailant, so you both had your right arms and swords on matching sides....otherwise you would have been leaning across your horse . There.... driving on the left has a historical basis. Plus, it’s just more civilised.😎
