1951 Buick XP-300

Canada is a great place but there is no place like home.  We drove west to Flint, Michigan.  We considered driving to Buffalo but we wanted to avoid all of the congestion in that part of the country and we had no plans for either direction so we decided to take a look at Michigan.  We looked for things to see or do in the Flint area and came up with the Sloan Museum and its Buick Gallery.  Sloan was an early member of the GM management team.  Here is a slide show of some Buick Gallery photos.

We parked for the night in a WalMart parking lot  about 5 miles away, unhooked the Tracker and went to the museum.  We spent about a hour or so looking at the Buick Gallery part of the museum and then went to see the rest of the Sloan Museum.  It is a very interesting set of exhibits about the history of auto manufacturing in the US. They had quite a bit of what I took to be unbiased coverage of the labor issues that started the UAW.
