Happy New year from RodandPiston.com!
The 2007 season is closer than we all think. The North East has had such an unseasonably warm winter some of us haven't even taken our cars off the road from 2006. When was the last time you saw a classic roadster cruising down the street in early January?

First off, we would like to show off our logo for this years show. We held a charity auction for the right to have your car on the logo. Mike aka 68frbrd and Howie aka crankyhick stepped up to the plate to help us raise money for
Child and Family Services of Buffalo and will get the reward of having their cars on our show logo.
