2008 Glenmoor to Feature Porsche, a “Unique Look” at
General Motors’ 100 Years, the Centennial
of the Ford Model T,—and More!
The Glenmoor Gathering is an invitation-only event. If you’d like to display your vehicle at the 2008 event the first step is to submit a completed application and a photograph of your vehicle. If you choose to submit an on-line application please send us a digital photo of your vehicle or mail a “hard” copy.
There will be two “features” in 2008. One will be the legendary Porsche. On display will be unique examples of the marque, including the only two surviving pre-production 911’s plus a Porsche 356 training chassis. International Porsche expert Karl Ludvigson will be on hand to introduce and autograph his latest book, Porsche: Genesis of Genius.
The other 2008 feature will be “A Unique Look at 100 Years of General Motors.” Grand Marshall will be Wayne Cherry, retired head of General Motors design department.
“In addition to the milestone GM vehicles one would expect to see at a 100th anniversary celebration, we’re going to have many of the not-so-familiar GM vehicles, including some that won’t be familiar to many car collectors,” said David Schultz, executive director of the event. “During the company’s early days—particularly the Durant era—there were many makes.”
What are the “not so familiar” vehicles? Automobiles such as Cartercar, Elmore, Scripps-Booth and Westcott. Trucks such as Rapid and Reliance. Tractors such as Samson. European makes such as Vauxhall, Open and Holden.
“Most car collectors are familiar with Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Oakland and Chevrolet as well as Chevrolet and GMC trucks. Some collectors are also familiar with the GM companion cars—LaSalle, Marquette, Viking and Pontiac,” said Schultz. “But not everyone knows how many other cars and trucks existed, including European makes.”
The 2008 Glenmoor Gathering will also include these special displays:
- A special grouping of “woodie” automobiles, featuring a variety of body styles from several different manufacturers and eras.
- More than 225 vehicles in total will be on display, including vintage domestic and foreign automobiles (pre and post-war), sports cars, motorcycles, commercial vehicles, modified and custom cars and hot rods.
Deadline for submission of applications is July 15, 2008. Owners of selected vehicles will be notified by August 1.
