Ypsi: Orphan Car Show

Jeffrey Jablansky of Automobile magazine writes about the rain-out of this year’s Ypsilanti Orphan Car Show at Riverside Park: “For over a decade, owners of classic cars with storied, discontinued marques, have gathered in Ypsilanti to share their sentiments of orphanhood. The event, which resembles a concours, showcases the best examples of brands that are no longer produced. … This year, however, the night before the show was scheduled to take place, rain fell on Ypsi in epic proportions, drowning the field and canceling the event. But a determined group of collectors decided to camp out at the parking lot adjacent to the Ypsilanti Automotive Heritage Museum, and the show, albeit a smaller one, went on.” [Source]
