October 8-11, 2008 - AACA Fall National Meet, Hershey, PA.

AACA Raffle Tickets Available; Grand Prize is 2008 Saturn Sky Red Line

It's not a Cadillac, but one of the most exciting new GM cars on the scene today is

the Saturn Sky Red Line - the hot new turbocharged version of the Saturn roadster.

One of these beauties will be the prize in a raffle held to benefit the AACA, the

AACA Library & Research Center, and the AACA Museum - three wonderful

organizations that contribute greatly to our hobby. A maximum of 2,000 tickets will

be sold, so your odds are better than usual.

Tickets are $50 each, available from Richard Sills, P.O. Box 6446, Lancaster, PA

17607. If you pay by check, make the check out to "AACA". Richard will also have

a supply of tickets with him at Central Penn Region events. The drawing will be

held on October 11 at the AACA Fall Meet in Hershey.

The winner may select $20,000 cash instead of the car, in case he or she can't bear

to drive anything but a Cadillac!
