Are you going Scott ?--looks like a nice show.

 

My plan as of right now is to go. I don't foresee any scheduling conflicts with that weekend

 

Cool--I checked out your website--real nice work--I was very impressed

 

that sounds bad ***!

 

Yep, I'm getting excited about the thought of going. It sucks for you being so far away from the show. It's about a four hour drive for me.

 

its like a 4 hour plus 2 day drive for me, haha. I would still like to go. we'll have to see how things go

 

I just got more info from Scott Settlemire today...

Good afternoon, Camaro Comrades, Firebird Friends, and Classic Chevy lovers............


As announced earlier, General Motors, Classic Chevy International, and World Wide Camaro will be hosting a 40th Anniversary Celebration of the Camaro/Firebird; and a 50th Anniversary Celebration of the 1957 Chevy at the General Motors Technical Center in Warren, Michigan on August 9-11, 2007.

This is an event you do NOT want to miss.

As promised, here are some hotels we suggest you consider: (we hope to get Camaro and Firebird people staying close together so we can 'hang out' in the parking lots at night........)

1. Comfort Inn -- 7001 Convention Blvd -- Warren, MI (about a mile north of Tech Center) 586-268-9020 -- booking code is "SSOA" (not just reserved for SSOA members -- we simply needed to come up with a memorable 4-character code!) Special rate for that code is $59 a night

2. Hampton Inn -- 7447 Convention Blvd -- Warren, MI 586-977-7270 -- booking code is "CSSO" -- Special Rate for that code is $83 a night

3. Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites -- 30000 Van Dyke Ave, Warren, MI 586-573-7600 -- (directly across the street from GM Tech Center) Rate is $79 a night -- identify yourself as part of the Chevy/Camaro 40th Anniversary celebration at the Tech Center.

4. Residence Inn -- 30120 Civic Center Blvd, Warren -- 586-558-8050 -- (directly across the street from GM Tech Center)

5. Marriott Courtyard Detroit/Warren -- 30190 Van Dyke Ave -- Warren, MI (directly across the street from GM Tech Center)

6. Fairfield Inn -- Warren -- 7454 Convention Center Drive -- Warren -- (about a mile north of the Tech Center) 586-939-1700

Both Comfort Inn and Hampton Inn are holding 40 rooms each for Camaro/Firebird Enthusiasts.

I'd STRONGLY suggest you book early into the rooms (like right now!) -- as we anticipate several hundred 55-57 Chevy Enthusiasts -- about 450 Corvette Enthusiasts -- and I'm HOPING 1,000 Camaro/Firebird Enthusiasts.

OF NOTE: The Woodward Dream Cruise takes place the following Saturday. You may want to extend your trip for at least a few days into the week of August 14. While the actual 'Dream Cruise' is on Saturday, August 19, Woodward Avenue is 'bumper to bumper' with classic cars starting on Tuesday late afternoon-- by Wednesday night, it's jammed.

---a great time to get together with fellow Camaro/Firebird enthusiasts-- take in the sites of the GM Tech Center -- and get a tour of the GM Heritage Center........this is a trip you do NOT want to miss!

im there.

 

This is what I've been waiting for an Actual F-body Meet in the Detroit Area.
Don't want to bash anyone but I've been so tired of Camaro only or Firebird only meets. It will be nice to have everyone Together for a change.
The Kicker is I live 10 min from the Tech Center.

 

So In!

 

the show is finally back after all of these years..... it's about time!



very exciting... so much work to do!




not a major thing but the worldwidecamaro link isn't working.

 

Link is broken

Cant wait for the show. Unfortunetly I wont be able to make Camarofest this year and was looking for a big show to go to. Anyone been to the heritage center before? Is it worth the $25 ?

 

too bad it's only one day. heritage center is fun if your into that sort of thing.

 

I wish that I could make it, I would be rolling a 1994 Firebird Trans Am GT, black with T-Tops, and from So. Cal. soI probaly won't make it

 

This sounds like it would be an awesome time... unfortunately I have a wedding that weekend that I CAN'T skip, or I'll get in some trouble.

 

This sounds awesome, im down in west palm. Think a 70 camaro will fit in?

 

Wow this is coming up kinda fast...

Don't miss the cruise!!!!!!!! I don't even know where to start on saying how awesome it is.

I also don't doubt that the GM event will sweet.

O yeah be sure not to get mugged in FFFlint-town if you go for real.
