For the last seven years a large group of enthusiastic drivers have refused to hang up their driving gloves just because it's winter in Georgia. They gather on the last Saturday of December for a driving event in the Southeast and dub it the Polar Bear Run. All classic marques are encouraged to join in, but all cars are welcomed. The group usually gathers near Atlanta, discusses the plans for the day, receives directions to the chosen museum so that all can drive at their own pace, and details of planned rest stops and lunch accommodations. There is no charge for these tours, you just pay for your own lunch and make a suggested donation to the museum if you choose to do so. For 2007 the crowd will head to The Museum of Aviation at Warner Robins, GA. on Sat., December 29th. If you're interested in joining the group, email GeorgiaPolarBear@hotmail.com .
In 2002 the Polar Bear Run gathered for a trip to the Bruce Weiner Microcar Museum of Madison,GA. The drivers of many great cars assembled as usual for the directions and plans for the day.
After a pleasant drive and a few rest stops, the group arrived in Madison where they ate lunch, toured the lovely southern town, swapped stories and checked out each others cars.
After lunch, everyone drove a short distance out of town to their final destination - the Microcar Museum.
