We had a wonderful turn out at Andy Helfer’s garage! Hewas so generous with his time as he went around the room explainingwhat each car was, how he acquired it, how much was spent onrestoration, and approximate values today. We really appreciate allthe time he and Bullet Bellinger put into organizing and cleaning. Iknow it was a lot <strong>of</strong> work and to top it all <strong>of</strong>f he had “The Toy Box”T-Shirts for everyone who attended.
