Swap Meets Archives - NorCal Car Culture

Hi [FIRST NAME GOES HERE],

We have been working hard preparing to launch our American Car Culture Association in a couple of weeks. Our mission is promote American Car Culture all over the Western United States with our websites and newsletters. We want to help preserve hot rod and racing history as well. We are working with lots of vendors to provide discounts or coupons for our members. The new 2023 t-shirts should be ready to go soon too. We will help auto shop programs in schools and offer scholarships for students that want to study mechanics or metal fabrication. We want to show our appreciation for fine craftsmanship by presenting lots of awards at Car Shows this coming year.

Here are a few of our “Tony Lozoya Memorial” Coolest Truck Award presentations this past year.

Our plan is to travel to lots more Car Shows this coming year and meet you in person.Our Weekly Giveaway Drawings are “for paid subscribers only” and take place every Wednesday evening.

Welcome to Di Stasio Vineyards in Plymouth, CA! For information call (209) 256-1524.

Hi,

We had another rare weekend without attending a Car Show. I need to be taking advantage of this time to be filling up our 2023 calendar, although sometimes it’s nice to relax a little. I think all year long that I wished was way ahead listing car shows but maybe I just like working under pressure? I do appreciate everyone that has been sending me information on their 2023 events.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Now, Christmas will be here before we know it. If you are looking for something cool for your favorite Car Guy or Gal, please visit our Hot Rod Bookstore at 7975 Auburn Boulevard in Citrus Heights.

Every week we have some really cool cars come to visit us at our Classic Reg Service/Hot Rod Bookstore. Here are a few of my favorites from the last few weeks.

Like I say every week, I am sure thankful to all of you that paid for your $25 yearly subscription this past week and year!Our Weekly Giveaway Drawings are “for paid subscribers only” and take place every Wednesday evening. Please CLICK HERE to pay for you subscription, you could be the next winner!

Last week’s giveaway winner was Cliff Madariaga from Sacramento, CA. He won a couple of cool Metal Signs from Steve Reedy at Reedyville Goods at 3302 Swetzer Road in Loomis, CA. All his signs are cut and made right there at their store by a very talented group of people.

***We are busy working hard on our new American Car Culture Association, hopefully we will launch it before the end of the year. Our goal is to preserve and promote Car Culture through our Websites and Newsletters as well as with awards, scholarships and historical displays. We will offer different membership levels including a subscription and an American Car Culture t-shirt or other Car Culture Gear. We are working on additional benefits of membership including discounts or coupons from your favorite vendors. Please let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions.***

Here is a preview of our 2023 American Car Culture t-shirt.
