Do you remember the Rambler, Hudson Hornet, Gremlin, AMX and Javelin? They were all at the Columbus Municipal Airport across the street from the Atterbury-Bakalar Air Museum on Saturday, August 22 for the Hoosier AMC Club's 24th Annual Bill Reddig AMC Car Show. This was the largest collection of American Motors Corporation vehicles in one place in Indiana. If you weren't there, you missed a great show. Here are some photos of the cars in the show.

New items in our gift shop! Whenever I travel, I try to find embroidered tea towels as gifts. They are lightweight and easy to bring home. So...I made it a goal to find just the right towel to have our logo embroidered on. Larger towel is 20 x 30. Smaller ones are 16 x 18.

New coffee mugs, too! A bigger, 14 ounce size with a handle even a big guy can grip!

Remember...All sales help benefit our museum upkeep.

With Memorial Day fast approaching, what a good time to honor a friend or family member with a commemorative brick. Your brick will be on permanent display at the museum space near the C-119.

If my post works out correctly, you should be able to download an order form. If it DOESN'T work out correctly, call the museum or stop by to fill out an order form. You can also visit the memorial bricks at any time!

BUY A COMMEMORATIVE BRICK
To help with ongoing expenses to maintain the Charlie 119 Project, the museum is accepting donations for commemorative bricks.
