It’s that time of year again, I have to trade the car tools for a rake. I’d like to thank Ray Jones for hosting the spring meet in Arkansas. A family medical issue forced us to cancel our meet plans at the last minute. I hear a local collector happened to see letter cars at the hotel and generously invited the whole group to see his private collection. Everyone raved about it.
Mark Souders, Tony Bevaqua and Tony Rinaldi hosted the fall meet. We’re used to the letter cars getting attention at our meets, but this meet was something out of the ordinary. Our cars were gathered at a special display within the Macungie show. Thousands of visitors stopped to view the cars and hundreds chatted with the car owners. It did more to educate folks about letter cars than anything we’ve done in past. Good stuff!
A special thanks to Noel Hastalis, John Lazenby, Michael Burke and Bob Merritt for accepting nominations to run for the board of directors positions. We are lucky to have such qualified candidates. It’s a shame we can only elect three. Welcome aboard John Lazenby, Michael Burke and Bob Merritt.
The Macungie event report
is posted. Thanks to the contributors for sending in pictures and videos.

I am part of the Keeneland Concours deElegance here in Lexington, Kentucky. We want to get the
word out about next year’s event (July 16, 2016), so Chrysler car owners can be thinking about coming
to our event here in beautiful thoroughbred horse country. As part of next year’s event,
one of my goals is to put together an exclusive class of nice Chrysler 300 Letter cars.
