      Got Some Magazine Coverage

      I attended the Hotchkis Performance open house event held a few weeks ago and apparently my car was shot by Speedhunters.com. I did not know about it until yesterday, so I thought I would post it here. I love the comments, especially the one guy that said it's really ugly. Apparently one of my radio knobs fell off on the trip up there.

      Yeah, I'm proudly waving my big alternative musclecar flag. Doing my part to get the car community to take another look at these forgotten "Later-A-bodies".

      Hey Later-A-Body,
      Your Grand Am a great car. It's nice to see unusual models getting some time in the spotlight. Thanks for coming out to our Open House. Our favorite detail about the car was the 8-track player!

      Anyone who missed the open house, we have photos up on Facebook (link) and on the Hotchkis website (link)

      Thanks. The open house was a great event. I hope your company will be considering some development on the '73-'77 A-body. They really are great cars, and are starting to become more popular. The 8-track always gets big thumbs up from people, so that is not coming out.
