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!
