The High Beam is the official bimonthly publication of the Great Smoky Mountains Region of the Antique Automobile Club of America. Our purpose is to serve as a source of information for all members and supporters of the Region, to heighten interest in the preservation of antique vehicles, and to enjoy the fellowship of those with whom the one common thread of love for antique automobiles binds us. For more information on membership and the AACA, please contact any club officer. LOOSE NUT AT THE COMPUTER I have really appreciated the last few days of spring-like weather. I don’t know about everyone else, but it certainly makes me want to see winter end so that GSMR/LDC members can dust off our old cars once again!! Check out the Calendar as with better weather there are more chances to get rid of that cabin fever. On March 19th there is a junkyard trip planned to Vic’s Junkyard with a lunch stop at the Bantam Chef in Chesnee, SC. April offers the SE Spring Meet at the Charlotte Auto Fair — a great way to combine a car show and a swap meet. And don’t forget the Ice Cream Socials!!
