May 2024 ~ Welcome!
The 2024 Car Show/Cruise-In Season is Here!
May flowers mean that we are officially into the spring motoring season. The weather is getting better every day, vehicles have been pulled out of winter storage and enthusiasts are beginning to go to cars & coffee, cruise-ins, shows and other events. This is the time when the 2024 Yellow Book starts paying for itself! We have hundreds of listings for the Pacific Northwest AND Western Canada. No matter if you want to go to an event in Idaho Montana, Oregon, Washington, BC or even Alberta. We have the listings.
You can purchase our book at the upcoming Monroe Swap Meet, this May 18–19th. Additionally, Cliff’s Classic Chevy Parts, It’s A Classic, Drager’s Club House, LeMay Museum at Mary Mount, Thunder Dome Museum, Vintage Motorbooks, and The Bird Nest also have copies for sale. Plus, we have a Buy It Now button to the right of this screen. Don’t be left frantically searching for a weekend auto event. Cruise-ins, tours, cars & coffee, races, swap meets, museum displays are all listed. Don’t be left out. The Yellow Book is selling fast, get yours before they’re all gone!
