LANSING, Mich.--The Greater Lansing Convention and Visitors Bureau (GLCVB) is pleased
to announce that Michigan's Capital Region will be a key stop for one of the premier automotive
events in the State for 2009 - The Old Historic U.S. 27 Motor Tour.


Beginning August 18, 2009, this five-day motor tour will begin in Auburn, Indiana and head all
the way up to Cheboygan along historic U.S. 27. The theme of the event is to re-live the good
old days of scenic summer vacation trips up north in the family cruiser. Classic cars participating
in the tour will be on display at each tour stop. Eastwood Towne Center is the host location
for the motor tour's passage through the mid-Michigan area.
The public is welcome to view
the vintage automobiles at Eastwood Towne Center from 3:30 - 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday August
19, 2009. Area auto-enthusiasts may also register their classic car at the Lansing stop, and join
the tour for just $15!


"This is going to be just a great event full of classic old-time nostalgia," said Craig Parrish, Event
Coordinator for the Old Historic U.S. 27 Motor Tour. "We'll be hitting several delightful towns in
five fun-filled days with hundreds of classic cars to please auto-enthusiasts of every age."
