On September 29-30, 2007, a new National Park will be inaugurated in Richmond, California and will be  known as ROSIE-THE RIVETER NATIONAL PARK. The Home Front Festival By The Bay is sponsoring many events in those two days to honor the opening of the park.

We are seeking vintage automobiles of the 30’s & 40’s. which represent the heroic  building effort (ships, military equipment, etc.) which were built during WWII. The FORD Building on the waterfront of Richmond is to locus for the Festivies.

Could you please indicate if you can provide automobiles of that period to be shown on  those days? We will provide security & protection during the time there.

Sincerely,  Sal Compagno
