Wednesday Night Cruise-In Presented by DeNooyer Chevrolet and your West Michigan Chevrolet Dealers at the Gilmore Car Museum have become an annual summer tradition and this marks the 25th Anniversary!
NEW THIS YEAR!
Due to popular demand, this year we have added the opportunity to explore our air-conditioned main exhibitWithout Limits: Racing Through America, for $5 per guest. This includes the added bonus of access to additional restrooms inside the museum. Simply stop by the gift shop or Pedal Car Cafe to purchase your wristband. Members, with a membership card, receive access to the exhibit at no additional charge.
It is FREE to bring your show car on the grounds during Cruise-In and the event is open to the public. On good weather nights, the fun starts at 5 pm and runs until 8 pm, with both George & Sally’s authentic 1941 Blue Moon Diner and The Grill serving hot dogs, hamburgers, and creamy old-fashioned custard throughout the evening.With live music providing the soundtrack, these are evenings you and your family won’t forget! So, plan to bring your ride, snap a photo in front of the 1930s Shell station, cruise our amazing grounds, and enjoy an evening of great wheels and memories.
