Vintage Honda Store

Post by Eljeef » Wed Jul 14, 2010 6:52 pm

Hi folks. Right now I am in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and I want to know if there is a store or place somewhere between here and Detroit, Michigan that specializes in VJM's. I will be travelling back up I75 north from here on Friday, Saturday. I appreciate any suggestions you have to offer. It seems that every town has a Harley dealership. What about old Honda's? :) Jeff H.

I second the nomination for Western Hills Honda- well worth the trip. While in Cincinnati stop and have a '3-way' at Skyline Chili (a local delicacy) and have a look at the Union Terminal, one of the most spectacular surviving Art Deco buildings this side of the Chrysler building.

Western Hills Honda it is. I stopped in Kentucky just across the bridge from the stadium in Ohio and spent the night there at a hotel. (where I left my camera :( doh!) I'll google the address and punch it into the GPS. I love that thing. Thanks, Jeff H.

I don't think I could survive the 3-way...but an Art Deco building? That's right up my alley. Thanks for that tip. :) Jeff H.

Jeff, if you have the time go inside the Union Terminal (now the 'Museum Center' where Cincy's Natural History Museum is housed).
The rotunda is absolutely incredible- completely encircled by the most amazing WPA mural. It really is a wonder. They were going to demolish this building in the late 1970s but it survived due to public outcry. It was turned into a shopping mall for a time before it became the new home of the museum. I'm from Cincinnati originally and still stop by to photograph the building when I visit my folks.
