Plymouth Owners Club 2004 National Summer Meeting
The Plymouth Bulletin's agenda of the National Meet this summer in Battle Creek, MI should

have sparked your interest to start you thinking about making plans to attend this year's national meet.

Part of the fun of attending regional and national meets is traveling and staying at motels with region members. Dairyland members who attended the 1998 national meet held in Plymouth, MI celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the Plymouth marquee will attest to the fun. Maybe we could ! find another motel with a swimming pool filled with sand. Some took the fef!Y from Manitowoc, WI to Ludington, MI and some drove around Chicago. The majority of the Dairyland contingent stayed at the same motel and we would like to do the same thing for this year's meet.

Being we will be so close to the Walter P. Chrysler Museum, located in Auburn Hills, MI this would be an excellent opportunity to visit the museum. From all reports received about the museum, it is highly recommended as a place to visit for people who have an interest in classic antique cars, particularly if they are Plymouths. The suggested itinerary below includes a visit to the museum on Sunday August 14.

The above itinerary and routes are not cast in stone. What is needed to finalize the trip is to find

out who is planning to attend the national meet and if they are interested in taking the ferry. After

we know the head count, we can then contact the ferry and motels to obtain group rates. If you

are planning on going to the national meet and would like to be part of the group, it would be

appreciated if you would let Dick Silhol know for motel room reservations blocks to be made.

Your information would be appreciated as soon as possible.
