Title:
Orphan Cars - Great Cars
Description:
From the PBS series Great Cars. Edsel, Corvair, Hudson, Studebaker, Hupmobile, Crosley, Maxwell and more --- these are the Orphan cars. Every summer out on the edge of Ypsilanti, Michigan a group of car lovers gather for a car show that has been called eccentric, misguided or just fun. This passionate bunch of auto fanatics hauls out a group of ghost cars that they've nurtured for years. These are cars that fizzled and died out. Many of these "orphan cars" had unusual design and engineering features. They were created by people willing to go out on a limb. Unfortunately, the limb broke. But there are dedicated people who savor these marques and have turned these underdogs into show winners. It's a salute to the fallen that intrigues everyone who attends. More at GreatCarsTV.com
