WITH THE SIGHTING OF THE FIRST ROBIN BEHlND US, we consider this to be a most reliable harbinger of Spring!

The first driving event of the year is the Tech-Session on April 30th. See page 10 for the details, and RSVP before the deadline April 25": Registration is limited so contact Bob Wenderski ASAP

The CTCC Calendar is updated to show two new events: Joel and Annie have arraigned for a change-of-pace outing for July. While the date hasn't been firmed up, it will probably be the 23rd or 30th. Tour details are presented on page 3. Having attended the 'show' some years ago, I can attest to its being a most interesting and exciting adventure! Joel plans to have the date secured in time to publish in the May issue.

• The Volo Shelby Ford Show is set for August 7th. This annual event showcases Ford vehicles (including Shelby replicas), so the opportunity to see so many cars on display makes it well worth the price of admission.

The risque(?) Pin-Up photo (page 7), was submitted by my #1 son, his ever-watchful eye spotting things related to the classic Thunderbirds! Strangely enough, my son saw an ad for a '57 T-Bird in a 1970 issue of Hot-Rod, resulting in a trip to California to purchase the T-Bird! The cost of the airline ticket (Standby) was something on the order of $65.00!

The Cover Photo is one of several submitted to CTCC by Mitch Frumkin in 2005.
