Car Stories
Phil Kneeland of the Charter Oak Model A Club in California has been passing on car stories to NWRG clubs to maintain enthusiasm during these lockdown times. Some of the stories are short and some are long. They are all good and very interesting. The common thread is the authors telling about adventures or mishaps when they were younger. Click on the following links for the latest. If any LGMAC members would like to contribute their own story, please pass it on the your webmaster so we can share with Phil.
