According to Bob Ewing, director of SAH’s Southern California chapter, there will be approximately 50 vendors selling items such as rare, out-of-print automotive books, catalogs, programs, sales brochures, posters, pins and other memorabilia. “This is where local automotive writers, historians and restorers sell materials from their research libraries.”
“This event really ties in well with the Museum,” said Tony Thacker, the executive director of the Parks Museum. “There will be automotive and racing history for sale outside and on display inside the Museum.”
For event information, contact Ewing at 562/693-3580.
