2017 SE Michigan Downriver Cruise

[billcu]

This year is not going the best cruise, southbound I-75 is closed so there will be a bit more traffic on Fort street southbound.

Any Michiganders going to make it this year?

 

[beerdog]

what are the dates?

 

[billcu]

Oops, sorry, it's this Saturday.

You've talked this one up enough that I'm genuinely interested in giving it a shot.

However, I'll be up north, in a canoe.. Maybe next year.

Maybe next year we can have a Michigan meet around this cruise.:thumbsup:

Hey beerdog, if you want to join us in the cruise, you're welcome to stay in my spare room for the night.

Wish it wasn't so close to my vacation time, I think I'd like it. Sort of a mini Power Tour.

I wonder what the boss would say if I took off the entire month of June???

 

[beerdog]

too late, but I still need get out to the Mi crew this summer.

 

[billcu]

It was a nice cruise, not a lot of cars cruising, as in previous years, I think the threat of too much traffic scared some people off.

We've got the Telegraph Road cruise coming up on July 22. Maybe we can all get together for that one.

The Telegraph cruise is tomorrow, anyone interested?

 

[tixer]

Yes.


However.... I'm obliged to attend a 6 year old's birthday party..

Send pics.

Any particular place the Marks hang out?

Since I've never been to this cruise I don't know if there might be place where Lincolns go. The downriver cruise actually had a Lincoln dealer that we used to go to.

Are you familiar with the area? Can you suggest a place?

What year and color Mark do you have? I'll be driving my green 93 convertible, if we see each other honk, wave and pull over.

It looks like we will be the only LOD people there so far.

I probably won't be there until around 2, I have to wait for a couple of old friends and it looks like the weather will be clearer then anyway.

I have a black 96 with chrome torque thrust wheels.I have a budy there with a blue 68 chevelle.He said he will have a spot for me at the Big Boy in taylor if I go.Kinda watching the weather.

 

[billcu]

Sounds good James, I'll stop by the Big Boy.

I'd like to see the Chevelle too.

Looks like the weather is clearing up.

 

[billcu]

It was a great cruise, and it was nice to meet Jim and see his mint condition Black 96 Mark VIII.:thumbsup:

Here's a few shots of it, my convertible, and a couple other Lincolns I saw at the cruise.

I'll post some other cars from the cruise later, as I have a bunch of pics.

A cruise is a great way to have a car show, you don't have to walk around to see the cars, they drive right by you.

 

[billcu]

Some more.

 

[Lvnmarks]

Looks like fun!

 

[tixer]

I love it when a plan comes together.

It looks like a great time was had by all!
