The guys and gals of the Westerly-Pawcatuck Region AACA
car club absolutely loved the Steam-Up.
It is likely that we will have even more old cars available
next year.

I posted a page of photos and a couple of
comments on the WPRAACA website.<http://www.wpraaca.com/steam-up-2019.html>

Please check them out. Also feel free to use any of them
on the New England Wireless and Steam website.
