For the past eleven years, Riverside Park in Ypsilanti, Michigan has played host to the Orphan Car Show, an event devoted to autos that were either built by companies that are no longer in business or just interesting models that are no longer in production. The show has featured cars such as Kaisers, Studebakers, Hudsons and, of course, models like the Corvair above.

This year's show and pre-show events are being sponsored by the Walter P. Chrysler Museum. On Saturday June 2nd, there will be tour that takes participants from the Ypsilanti Automotive Heritage Museum to the Muerer Collection in Farmington Hills, on to Moe's on Ten in Novi, the Matthei Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor and back to Ypsi for an evening reception at the museum. On Sunday June 3rd, all the cars will gather and park, and this year's featured marque is Checker Cab. The big question has to be will the Chrysler Museum sponsorship be a prelude to the automaker being the featured brand next year? We'll bring you live coverage from the park regardless in a few weeks.
