Since the inaugural show in 1973, originally called the Sloan Museum Summer Fair, and presented by the Alfred P. Sloan Jr. Panorama of Transportation, the purpose has remained consistent. These last 50 years of raising funds have been to acquire, restore, maintain and promote the unique, world class collection housed inside the Sloan Museum of Discovery a brand new, 21st Century building. Opening to the public in July 2022, you can follow the signs near the building and pay a visit to the new automotive gallery during the Auto Fair.
At this year’s show, we will feature live rock and roll music presented by the kids of The Third Degree Burns. DJ Scott Kuhl will spin your favorite recordings (just ask him) all weekend, while you enjoy the antique tractors, antique motorcycles, and our special displays. Enjoy the seeing our Celebration of Transportation in Durant Plaza, many of them one of a kind. You will also see a van that moves down the road, upside down. In the museum lobby, visit the new gift shop, have a coffee, and check out the 1953 Corvette Cut-a-Way Corvette.
This weekend, the Flint Institute of Arts and the Applewood Estate are open, at no charge, during our show. Ask the car owners questions, because everyone knows, we love to talk about our cars. As always, please respect the cars on display, don’t touch unless the owner give permission.
After 9 years, my time as a Transitional Chairman is now over. In this time, there have been eight years of Cultural Center construction projects, three Auto Fair locations, several key acquisitions to the collection, rainouts, burnouts, and ultimately a brand-new museum with a plan to be relevant for another 50 years. Now it’s time to turn over the throttle to a new leader. Going forward into 2023, the General Chairman will be Pete Granger, long time committee member, car crazed man whose family has been involved with the Museum and Auto Fair for over 40 years. And, of course, the son of Marvin Granger, which says more than enough.
The Staff of the Sloan Museum of Discovery, Longway Planetarium, The Friends of Sloan*Longway, and the Sloan Museum Auto Fair Committee are pleased that with all the options available, you and your family chose to spend this weekend with us. Thank You.
Sincerely, Thom Self Chair Sloan Museum Auto Fair |
