HUMOR ?

Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Officer asks a young engineer fresh out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, "And what starting salary are you looking for?"

The engineer replies, "In the region of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package." The interviewer inquires, "Well, what would you say to a package of five weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every two years, say, a red Corvette?" The engineer sits up straight and says,
"Wow! Are you kidding?"
The interviewer replies, "Yeah, but you started it."

--------------------

Two lawyers walking through the woods spotted a vicious looking bear. The first lawyer immediately opened his briefcase, pulled out a pair of sneakers and started putting them on.

The second lawyer looked at him and said, "You're crazy! You'll never be able to outrun that bear!" "I don't have to," the first lawyer replied. "I only have to outrun you."

2014   

We are very pleased to announce that the

O'Reilly Automotive, Inc. officially started in the auto parts business in Springfield, Missouri, in November of 1957. However, its historical background in the automotive business, as well as the family's quest for opportunity and advancement, may be traced back to a much earlier time.

O'Reilly currently operates in 42 states, with a total of 4,000 stores and 24 distribution centers, thus ranking it in the top two auto parts distributors in the United States.


Sacramento Vintage Ford would like to thank

 Street Rod Stamps Hit The Streets 

 
June 9, 2014

A new line of stamps celebrating hot rods has hit    

The first-day-of-issue dedication ceremony took place at the National Street Rod Association Street Rod Nationals East Plus at the York Expo Center in York, Pa., according to a press release. They are available in 20-stamp booklets.

"These Hot Rods stamps mark the beginning of America's fascination with customizing fast cars, said Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe. "And they're just as popular today as they were decades ago. Just like the cars they celebrate, these stamps are timeless in that they're good for mailing First Class letters anytime in the future."

Designed by Derry Noyes of Washington D.C., the two stamps were digitally created by artist John Mattos of San Francisco, the release noted.

Most Model A Fords can be found for sale in the $10,000-20,000 range, but the 1931 Ford Model A coupe going up for sale at Auctions America by RM's Auburn Fall auction is expected to sell for about 10 times that sum ($150,000 - $225,000 estimate). If you figure, like we do, that the most valuable Model A is the 20 Millionth Ford built, a 1931 Model A Fordor, that would make this coupe the second-most-valuable example of "Henry's Lady." To be fair, there's more to the Deluxe coupe offered by Auctions America than a pretty little profile.

The 1931 Model  A coupe Auctions America will offer during its sale Aug. 30-Sept. 2 in Auburn, Ind., is part of a car-camper combo assembled in the 1930s, offering the winning bidder a time-capsule car and fishing display and, above all, a handsome package that no one else can claim."This Model A and travel trailer combo is a real find for us," said Auctions America by RM's President Donnie Gould. "Our Car Specialists are always on the lookout for vehicles that grab attention and set us apart from our competition. We are very happy to offer this 80-year-old travel rig with so much genuine nostalgic value and history."

In addition to the nearly 1,500 cars for sale, Auburn Fall will feature a seminar and special display devoted to the 50th anniversary of Carroll Shelby's legendary Cobra and Mustang sports cars.

Pair of Cord project cars sell for $64,000 at Jordan salvage yard auction   

The value of a well-restored 1937 Cord 812 Supercharged Beverly sedan can easily climb into the six figures while a comparable condition 1936 Cord 810 Westchester sedan is worth slightly (but not considerably) less. At the recent Jordan collection sale in Enid, Oklahoma, one Cord collector walked away with examples of both cars, for a total bid price (excluding buyer's fees) of $64,000.

SURF CITY GARAGE  PRODUCTS

So where did Surf City Garage detailing products  

come from?

Well, to keep the cars looking great, we tried every car care product around, but I just wasn't satisfied with the quality or performance. So we developed our own complete line of Enthusiast Grade� detailing products -- recognized around the world as the best anyone can buy. Our guarantee: if these aren't the best products you've ever used, give me a call and I'll personally buy them back - is unmatched in the industry.  

That's why, every day, more and more enthusiasts are switching to Surf City Garage Enthusiast Grade� - because nothing else even comes close.
