Motor Muster
June 14-15, 2014 (Open Saturday 'til 9pm)

Diehard car lovers, Motor Muster is your weekend!

Join us to celebrate one of the innovative eras of American automotive history – 1933-1976. The streets of Greenfield Village will be filled with hundreds of classic cars, vintage trucks, motorcycles – even a fire engine or two. They’re all here, from brawny muscle cars to the real straight-out-of-the-showroom cars you and your parents grew up with.
