GM Heritage Centre - I thought you lot would like to see

[DougieMc]

Im just back from 2 days in Detroit.
While out there I was given the chance to look round the GM Detroit Heritage Centre. This is not the one with the sink hole of Corvettes but another that is not open to the public, as its where they store all the show cars, 1 offs, Pace Cars, Concepts and 1st's and lasts off.
(Basically a priceless collection)
Was also amazing to see this collection all to ourselves.

He is a link to the actual Centre website for more info

The main highlight was being shown round by Centre Curator Greg Wallace who in Detroit is well know as the Car Guy as he until recently was the organiser of the Woodward Dream cruise. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodward_Dream_Cruise

Hope you enjoy the pics
It was a pretty amazing place.

No probs
When I seen the sheer amount of V8's I thought you lot would enjoy.
Was mad knowing its not open to the public and the cars were all very special each one has something specific, the Bandit car was actually from the film, so was the 442 the actual one from demolition man.
Was crazy.

Fantastic collection, why keep it private I wonder as so many would love to pay and see those amazing cars.

That reminds me of my private trip round the Rainbow Sheikh's collection just outside Abu Dhabi a few years ago, totally mind blowing.

Agree but they do also promote that you can book a viewing as a Owners club or group so basically just no people walking in off the street.
But to be honest the value of each of them they would need to be well staffed to make sure people werent abusing the condition of the place and cars
