Hi Everyone,
Ok, is it just me or is the year flying by, I mean I can't believe it's almost May!! But to look at the positive, that means that car show season is really gonna be heating up.
I'd also like to take a minute to send a THANK YOU out to Archie for sending us those great pics of his (well, his wife's) '49 Willeys Wagon. I really like this little wagon, and I bet Mrs. Archie likes it a lot too. You can see the pics on our FACEBOOK.
So let's look at what shows we've got coming up to close out April and take us into May. Also, please remember, if you have a car show, cruise event, or car club that you'd like me to promote in my newsletter, just email me at caeperformance@aol.com with all the info and I'll get the word out.
