Onward and Upward Dep’t. – the Culver City Exchange Club members are tired but excited; last week’s “Cruisin’ Back to the 50’s” car show attracted a total 460 autos of all years and styles for the public’s enjoyment. Major sponsors were Wells Fargo, Galpin Ford, RM Auctions and the Armand Hammer Foundation. Nicest news? The 50/50 Raffle was won by Sue Hall, who donated her winnings to the Exchange Club Foundation. Now Exchange’s big 4th of July Fireworks Show is coming up fast, and Earl Eskridge is reminding members that it’s time to start getting ads for the day’s program book.
