Pedaled his bike "to Detroit" (which, I guess in this context, is Flint)?

Looks like it is already registered and plated, and ready to rock and roll.

As an aside, my Grand Prix owner manual has a note penned in the inside front cover that says "Merry Christmas Andy, Love Mom and Dad". It was a $5300 car in 1963.
