I remember the days of Telegraph and Joy area hanging out in the shopping center north of there.
 
yup yup im in taylor and im on telegraph crusing evrey chance I get seeing as i live 2 sec away from telegraph lol8)
 
Is there anything planned this summer for Mopar events? Deano's (a 1950's-60's style ice cream shop) does alot of car shows for local guys, maybe we could get a good group of mopar muscle to show.

I also found this for June 12, 2010. http://www.kmdodge.com/kandm/events.cfm

Found this also. http://www.carshownews.com/national/MI.htm


Anyways, if anyone is going to any in SW Michigan this summer, let us know.
 
Yeah, I remember that shopping center. Was it at Grand River? Used to cruise from Daly's Drive-In down below Michigan Ave. up past Grand River. Sometimes we would take 8 mile over to Woodward and cruise that if Telegraph was dead. Rog
 
Not sure on the street the shopping center was near. As I remember it was on the west side and just south of Detroit Diesel.
 
Wow!! Lots and lots of Michigan folks on here!! Maybe we should have a get together at one of the summer events this year. Has anyone ever been to Baker's of Milford car shows? Pretty good show with lots of vehicles, and the bar/restruant has some great food. They are held every Sunday, and I think it starts @ 2:00p.m? It's 30 miles for me, coming from Westland.
 
Hey don't forget the Mopars at the Red Barns at the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI. It is July 24. It's a grreat all mopar car show and swap meet. They also have a ton of other old cars to check out in all the barns. I've been going for the last few years and will one day have my '68 Barracuda all restored and in the show. And also don't forget the Mopar Nationals at Martin Dragway. I think that's the next weekend in July. Can't wait......
