Last updated on Sept 12th.

This is a special VCO Signature Event that offers our members exclusive access to the Chrysler Museum and Team Viper VIP's. Enio Parete, VCO Windsor director and Stellantis VP, has once again planned this event as he did the hugely successful VIP Tour of Chrysler's Brampton Assembly Plant last year. We saw the final Chrysler V8 muscle cars being built there, and Dodge CEO Matt McAlear will show us their up-coming Dodge Charger Daytona muscle cars!

Chrysler's historically significant collection of museum vehicles are now located at the Conner Center, the former Conner Avenue Assembly Plant (CAAP) in Detroit where our Vipers were built, and where part of the Viper assembly line remains! We have a museum capacity of 100 members, and along with our friends in the Motor City Viper Owners Club, this event is almost full. From there we'll cruise around the Chrysler World Headquarters and Technology Center, on our way to the M1 Concourse Event Complex.

Team Viper VIP's will be joining us, including the legendary Ralph Gilles, Mark Trostle, "Spirit of Viper" Hall of fame inductees Dick Winkles (Mr. V-10), Sandy Emerling, Herb Helbig, and others! Some of these Team Viper VIP's and S.O.V. inductees are listed here... https://www.spiritofviper.com/. They'll be happy to autograph your Viper as they have been doing for many years.

Vipers are encouraged to be brought to this event. We will be doing photo shoots and Team Viper signings with Vipers. Trailer parking is available. We want all to be able to attend, regardless of vehicle.

Our host hotel is the Windsor DoubleTree by Hilton at 333 Riverside Drive. There's a covered parking garage behind the hotel at 275 Pitt Sreet. We'll reserve parking spaces for our members cars, and the club will fund Friday & Saturday overnight security from 7 pm- 9 am. https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/yqgwidt-doubletree-windsor-hotel-and-suites/

Friday:

We're planning a meet-up location on the 401 just west of Cambridge for those driving to Windsor on Friday, and another meet-up location near London as well.

7 pm - A group dinner will be at The Bistro At The River restaurant, a 2 block walk from our hotel, but capacity is unfortunately limited to 31 people. There's a Michael Buble concert at 8 pm at the Caesars Windsor Casino for those interested. https://www.bistroattheriver.com/index.html

Saturday:

Breakfast is available at the hotel's River Room restaurant or elsewhere on your own.

9:30 am - We'll assemble our vehicles into a caravan behind the DoubleTree hotel and prepare to depart for the Chrysler Museum in Detroit at 10:00 am sharp. Please be sure to bring your valid passports!

11:30-3:00 pm - We'll start with a group photoshoot before touring the Chrysler Automobile Museum, located in the old Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit where the Vipers and Plymouth Prowlers were built. Chrysler has a very impressive collection of concept, production and race cars to view, and we'll hear some stories from some Team Viper members! The museum is never open to the public, so this really is an exclusive opportunity for members, and not to be missed! Lunch will be provided and funded by the VCO.

3:00 pm - Depart for a cruise around the iconic 503 acre Chrysler World Headquarters and Technology Center on our way to the impressive M1 Concourse Event Complex and the Prefix Performance Center where we'll meet Dodge CEO Matt McAlear, and see their new Dodge Charge Daytona that will be available for sale later this year! https://m1concourse.com/prefix-performance-center/ Update: Our Vipers will be doing a parade lap around the M1 race track following the new Dodge Chargers!

We'll then head to dinner at Lelli's Restaurant for 7 pm or so where we have reserved Viper parking arranged. We now have a large reserved room. https://www.lellisrestaurant.com/menu

A short cruise along part of the famous Woodward Drive will follow on the way back to our hotel.

Evening - Our hotel is just a short stroll along the scenic Riverwalk to Caesars Windsor Casino to share an evening of fellowship...and maybe a few of us will try our luck!
