CCCA introduction

Like every organization, 99.9% of all CCCA members are really great people. Unfortunately, that other 0.1% can drive you nuts.

I'm glad your friend met one of the 99.9% group. Please encourage him to join. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I hope all CCCA Regions will go out of their way to invite other hobbyists to their events. Looking within the hobby is the best place to find new members. It's that simple.

Hi West,

Congratulations on being promoted to editor of a fine publication. My name is Bob Horgan and live in West Michigan. I was looking forward to attending the Michigan Region show but a prostrate cancer thing changed my plans.

I'm the guy who furnishes Shawn with a car portraits to post on the club's home page. Check out my car art site at rollinghistory.com also favoriteride.com

I'm looking forward to this summer and shooting cars at shows around the Great Lakes area. I need a guy like you in the publishing business who can provide me with a press pass this summer. So I can shoot cars a day or two before the general public gets in. Your a car shooter, you know what I'm talking about.

Please contact me is your interested in helping a fellow car-shooter.

It is against our policy to obtain press passes for individuals who are not working on a story for us. Sorry.

Hello West, it is good to see you on the forum. I am a loyal C&P reader for many years and it is always great. I am glad you feature such variety and especially that you still focus heavy on classic and prewar cars. What do other readers think of spreading out event coverage over 3 or 4 issues? I am not sure about that practice. Anyway, keep Ford Country and prewar stuff coming, and best wishes with the magazine. Sincerely, Todd Crews, POCI 1957 Tech Advisor, McPherson College Graduate, member AACA and SAH.

For those who have not seen Cars & Parts magazine for about a year, I have eliminated the multi-part show coverage. Very few of our stories are continued since I became editor. Our History series, of course, and "how to" articles are still continued. But I guarantee that you will see no more 17-part Route 66 stories. I have received many compliments on the amount of prewar, especially Classic cars that we have been running over the past several months. Thank you all.
