Found this hidden gem in Frankfort, Michigan a couple years ago. My dad and I visited it and we were the only ones in there, other than our lady friends of course :) .
This lovely older couple owned it, they bought every single car in the museum and drove all of them over the years. He worked for GM as an engineer I believe. She basically runs the museum now, as the old fellow is getting up there in years.
These pics barely scratch the surface, I lost count of how many cars there are, in three buildings. From old 1960's Internationals and Broncos to muscle cars from all era's.
My photography is terrible, those cars were packed in there tight. Many apologies.

As soon as I saw your post, I immediately looked this up. We're always looking for cool day trips in Northern Lower Michigan.

Unfortunately, Larry Hale died last year. I am trying to find out if his museum is still open. I found that his wife is still alive.

Thanks for the cool post.

Bummer. I haven't been there in a while and wondered about that myself. Thanks for the info.

I did take pic of Larry In his office. He was pretty old at the time I visited. Was a really knowledgeable guy. I'm glad I got to know him.

Thank you for adding to my “places-to-visit- when-I- retire” list! Love those mid 70’s GM A-body Buick’s with T tops! (And the rest of the cars you photo’d.). Hope the museum is still up and running in 3.5 years….
