Michigan's AutoTalk Episode 60: "An inside look at 90 acres and 400+ cars of North America's largest auto museum...The Gilmore Car Museum," executive producer Phil Tower joins co-hosts Al Schwinkendorf and John Puhek for another live podcast recording from the Gilmore car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan. In this episode, Josh Russell, executive director of The Gilmore Car Museum, gives us an overview of the museum and its 90+ acres in Hickory Corners, MI.
The idea for the Gilmore museum started in the early 1960s when Donald S. Gilmore began collecting vintage automobiles. Years that followed saw Gilmore collecting some of the world’s most renowned automobiles.

Gilmore then acquired 90 acres of land in Hickory Corners. Later, his wife Genevieve had the idea of turning the collection into a museum, so they established a non-profit foundation and opened the museum to the public for the first time on in the summer of 1966.

56 years later, the Gilmore Car Museum is North America's largest auto museum with over 400 vehicles on display and over 190,000 square feet of exhibit space.
