As the months turn cold and we put the vehicles away in the garage, my thoughts turn to the car shows this past year and all the fun that has been had. Most of all you that have turned out to support the shows, to give to the various charities that have been a pert of these shows.

So, starting this month I would like to have nominations for Rodder's From The Heart Those special people or persons who have made a difference in the Auto Hobby in our area. If you have a person to nominate email me at :squadcars(at) hotmail.com and we'll feature them on our pages right here.

End of long ride for Tator’s Dodge?

Walking into Tator’s Dodge in South Salem is like walking back in time, from the vintage Coca-Cola vending machine to the original cash register, still in use after nearly 95 years. Yet the fate of the small car business, the country’s oldest remaining Dodge dealership, now lies in the hands of bankruptcy court Judge Arthur Gonzalez. Tator’s Dodge is one of almost 800 Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge dealerships around the country to be slated for elimination in Chrysler’s proposed restructuring, which Mr. Gonzalez is to rule on June 9.
