That's how we know it's time for the big Fall events (we don't need no stinking calendar). This year, the four big East Coast fall events are on back to back weekends. From September 20th through October 13th, our show crew will be at shows every weekend. We know the customers will be as great as always and hope that the weather stays fair. We hope lots of you stop by and visit with us at these events. <table width="520" border="2" bordercolor="red" cellpadding="10" cellspacing=0 align="center"> <tr> <td align=center> <a href="http://www.charlotte-autofair.com/" target="_blank">FALL CHARLOTTE AUTOFAIR</a> - September 20-23 Spaces: AB25-29; Charlotte, NC </td> </tr> <tr> <td align=center> FALL ENGLISHTOWN - September 28-30 Spaces: RI43-45 spectator side; Englishtown, NJ </td> </tr> <tr> <td align=center> <a href="http://www.charlotte-autofair.com/" target="_blank">FALL CARLISLE</a> - October 3-7 Spaces: P170-179; Carlisle, PA </td> </tr> <tr> <td align=center> FALL HERSHEY - October 10-13 Spaces: CD67-73; Hershey, PA </td> </tr> </table> </div> </blockquote>   <center> <table width="570" border="2" bordercolor="#ffcc66" cellpadding="10" cellspacing=0 align="center"> <tr bgcolor="#ffffcc"> <td align=center> <a href="http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-bin/pub9990262549620.cgi?itemid=9990408228079" target="_blank">MADE IN PONTIAC: An Interview, Part 4</a> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#ffcc66"> <td align=left> Written by Eric White, <a href="http://wildaboutcars.com">Wild About Cars</a> Pontiac Brand Manager <a href="http://pysales.com/splash/madeinpontiac4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://pysales.com/splash/madeinpontiac4.jpg" width=320 border=0 align=right></a> <a href="http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-bin/pub9990262549620.cgi?categoryid=9990401240631&acti on=viewad&itemid=9990401225894" target="_blank">Read Part 1</a> <a href="http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-bin/pub9990262549620.cgi?itemid=9990404596316" target="_blank">Read Part 2</a> <a href="http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-bin/pub9990262549620.cgi?itemid=9990404601846" target="_blank">Read Part 3</a> Wild About Cars: Was there an area where they built the special cars? Carl Papke: There was a Quonset hut in the back end of Plant 8 that they called the "100% rack." They would pick cars out at random and take them to this Quonset hut.

This was above and beyond anything done on the line.
