Paul Pettit worked hard to get a good showing and the people in Hebron always appreciate our long line of old iron. Pictures from other July events are shown in this newsletter. Those of you who use your cars for something other than Garage Art are to be commended for your participation in club events. It is very special to see these beautiful cars and trucks on the road and on display. Keep up the good work!
