Following this, we will depart for the Chrysler Museum in Auburn Hills. Walter Chrysler was an employee of General Motors before starting his own manufacturing business. View over 70 extraordinary vehicles on display including many rare models of Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, DeSoto, Jeep, Nash, Hudson, Rambler, and Willys cars and trucks. Among these you will find: Dream cars from the 50’s, Custom-bodied Classics and four-wheel drive legends, and highly prized muscle cars. 

Lunch will be served at Historic Olde World Canterbury Village. Canterbury Village displays a wealth of treasures collected from around the world. Antique windows, doors, paneling, and artifacts add distinction as well as luster to Olde World Canterbury Village and King’s Court Castle restaurant.
