Sorry for the photo delay...too much to see and to do, over one weekend.
The weather was great, for both the pre-Woodward Historical Tour and for
most of the Dream Cruise (until about 4pm), so we got lucky this year.
I hope to get more of my hi-res photos downloaded (and posted?) later this
week, but I have a few iPhone images of the DMC Historical Tour, for now.
A huge thanks to Tim DuFresne from the DeLorean Motor City car club, for
putting together this DMC Tour (at the last minute) to help fill out our Friday
activities. While the museum tour was also very cool, I will focus the photos
here on the tour locations that had an impact on the DeLorean Automobile.
First, a stop at the old Cars and Concepts, Inc. location, where the DeLorean
Convertible Roadster sketch (and many other DMC sketches) were drawn,
for the original DeLorean Motor Company, back in 1981. We met a few former
workers for C&C, which work for the welding supply company at that location.

As it usually happens on these tours, employees come out to see why there
are a bunch of DeLoreans parked in front of their building, and, of course, to
take photos of the cars, tell their stories about the cars and JZD, and even
provide insight into the DMC project, from 30 years ago. (thanks C&C Dennis)

The second location we visited was the former Kar Kraft fabrication building
where the Visioneering prototype was fabricated and assembled. It appeared
the building was vacant at this time, but that may be due to "Summer Break",
since the building is currently owned by a local area trade school.

The third location we visited was the former Milford Stamping facility, which
was used for DeLorean Prototype Panel Stamping. We met a former employee
of Milford (Henry), who was still working at the same location since 1978 when
he began working for Milford in 1978 (stamping co. has changed hands 3 times).

I will try to get to the other photos, locations and stories, sometime this week.
Later,
