Western Montana Car Club Expo

On April 11th and 12th I got to go to a car show in the Southgate Mall, Missoula, Montana: the 9th Annual Western Montana Car Club Expo. I usually go every year to look at the cars and there were 59 this year. Generally, whole clubs show their cars rather than just individuals. I have tried to list all the cars. Not exciting reading, but if you live many miles away, that will give you an idea if you’d like to attend sometime and who’s bringing what.
Montana Automotive Technologies of Missoula organizes the Expo. MAT is a 501(c) (3) organization formed a few years ago to give youth a chance to learn auto repair and restoration skills when auto shop was discontinued by the public schools.
Please contact Alan Ault at (406) 370-4365 if interested in the program or the event. MAT is not part of the public schools, but their classes qualify for high school credits for students.
