John was one of the first people to be a part of the Miles Through Time Automotive Museum. John pulled up in is 1948 Chevy right before the museum opened in 2017 (his first car) and told me he probably had the oldest cars in the county. Just before the grand opening, John called and asked if I wanted him to bring his cars down to the museum. With a resounding YES, john brought his collection to the museum, including his 1948 Chevy.
John is the reason the Miles Through Time Automotive Museum can say there is over 100 years of automotive history on display. On January 1st, John will turn 80 and to celebrate he is having his birthday party at the museum Saturday, December 29th at noon.
John being the car enthusiast that he is, we’ve decided to take his birthday up a notch just for him. So to celebrate we are opening the museum special Saturday, December 29th and we are encouraging visitors to bring their cool old cars. All vehicles are welcome, but for John the older the better.
The museum will be open 12/29/18 from 10 to 3 for anyone who would like to visit the museum.

With its low windshield,…

1948 Rover P3 Saloon
The 1948 Rover P3 Saloon marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of British motoring. Introduced in the immediate aftermath of World War II, the P3 was a bridge between prewar craftsmanship and the modern engineering ethos that would come to define Rover’s future.

The Volunteer Gap: Thoughts on Why Car Clubs Are Struggling to Fill Leadership Roles, and What to Do About It
With car shows, cruise-ins, tours, parades and varied events across the country, car clubs continue to bring enthusiasts together for camaraderie, preservation, and celebration of automotive history.
