Hi [FIRST NAME GOES HERE],

Happy New Year to you and your family! I hope 2023 is one the best years of your life!

After a couple of years of pretty severe restrictions, 2022 felt like we returned to a somewhat normal existence. It was definitely obvious that the Classic Car hobby is still booming. My websites and newsletters have grown tremendously over the past couple of years and most of the Car Shows and Races were huge successes as well. I expect this coming year to be full of amazing events all over the country.

This Sunday’s Car Events:

January 1 – Carmichael: The Cars & Coffee Carmichael is every Sunday morning from 7am to 9:30am at the Bel Air Parking Lot, 4005 Manzanita Avenue.

We are hoping that the funds we raise will allow us to do some of the things we have listed below. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all the kind words and emails I receive throughout the year and I hope this new Association allows us to do some great things together.

Our Mission is to preserve and promote American Car Culture across the country by:

1. Keeping you up to date on Car Shows, Swap Meets, Races and Motorcycle Events and maintaining Car Culture websites and publishing email newsletters in each state.

2. Helping promote auto shop programs in schools and offering scholarships to automotive students.

3. Encouraging and appreciating fine craftsmanship by giving out awards at every event we attend.

4. Preserving hot rod and racing history by creating a Car Culture Museum, Hall of Fame and publishing histories.

This beautiful 1965 Buick Riviera is owned by Matt McGhee of Folsom, CA.

This super fast blown 1941 Willys is owned by my friend Danny Ausmus of Citrus Heights, CA.

This very cool 1950 Chevy Coupe is owned by another friend Bruce Berg, of Citrus Heights, CA.**We are hard at work on our 2023 Calendar.

Our final giveaway winner of the year was Greg Benes from Modesto, CA. He won a couple of very cool Metal Signs courtesy of Steve Reedy at Reedyville Goods at 3302 Swetzer Road in Loomis. They are made entirely at their facility in Loomis and the quality shows. Their signs are far superior to the Chinese-made signs that you find at Hobby Lobby. Please stop by and check out their showroom, I’m sure Steve will give you a quick tour of the place too!
