    The Volo Theme Park includes more than 50 acres.  Auction cars will be
displayed on asphalt, or in tents at the consignor's request.  The auction
itself will be held in the new state-of-the-art Expo Building with plentiful
seating, and good food, too.
    Throughout the weekend, there are at least 200 Expo cars to enjoy, most of
which are also for sale, in the Volo Antique Auto Museums.  And 3 Antique
Malls provide colorful country pleasures.  Each weekend, thousands of people
stroll through the Auto Museum/Sales Salons and the Antique Malls with more
than 300 dealer booths and showcases.  The auction weekend brings thousands
more.  Of course, the Woodward's Deli staff will be beefed up to handle the
throngs.  Another plus:  this year, parking areas have been greatly increased.
And parking is free.
