    I was invited to the 2012 Ford Product Development Employee Car Show in Dearborn MI on Friday July 20th 2012.I drove there Thursday. The show was 6:30am to 1:30pm.This years theme was wagons.I along with with fellow “Loser” Julie with her 59 Edsel wagon , were chosen to be part of the 13 car feature display.The show is in its 20th year and there were about 400 cars there.They were mostly Fords , but there was also Gm,Amc/Chrylser, and import classes.The highlight of the day for me was when a woman, with her two young sons, walked up to my car overcome with emotion, literally in tears.She was from Oahu where her mom had a Cruising Wagon.She remembers her mom piling a bunch of kids in the back and how much she loved the carpeted walls.She asked her kids to stand next to the car so she could take a pitcure . When the kids asked why, she said “when gramma sees it, she will cry too”
