what is the wilson barn show>?
Better late than never with a response...
The Wilson Barn Show (in reference to Ford/Mustangs) was/is (?) one of the best car shows (called "Mustang Memories") in Southeast Michigan - held in Livonia at the corner of Middleblet and West Chicago at the "barn" every year.
Venue info:
Wilson Barn Park - Livonia, MI - Detroit News
Now, a little history - feel free to make corrections BTW - sorry if the following is confusing:
The Mustang Owners Club of Southeastern Michigan used to hold their annual "
Mustang Memories" car show at The Wilson Barn for a loooooooong number of years. The
Mustang Memories car show at the Barn was a
HUGE Ford and Mustang enthusiast summer event. It was
THE summer show to attend (IMHO, of course).
At some point in time, however, the "Mustang Memories" car show changed venues (several locations, actually) during the past few years. So, the "Barn Show" was never what it used to be (no offense) - there's still car shows held at the Barn by other clubs, but nothing like the ones put on by the Mustang Owners Club of Southeastern Michigan (my personal opinion).
The "Mustang Memories" car show is now held at a different venue (Ford World HQ this year I believe). You can read more about the Mustang Owners Club of Southeastern Michigan at their website (
Mustang Owners Club of Southeastern Michigan ) & the upcoming "Mustang Memories" car show, slated to be held in August at Ford World HQ in Dearborn.
To recap, the "Mustang Memories" car show used to be held at the Barn. But then "Mustang Memories" left the Barn venue and has changed locations several times over the years. But, the Barn still hosts car shows (just not the "Mustang Memories" car show LOL).
Make sense?
Again, no offense to the Barn, the other car shows held at the Barn, or the Mustang Memories car show either - again, just one fan's take on the matter.
Keep the rubber side down folks...
