Hello Everyone, Summer is just around the corner! I know everyone is ready to start motoring our Mets! I know we are. This summer we will be taking our 1956 Nash Met Yellow & White color named 'Clover' out cruising with the top down. Thank you everyone for coming out to the April 2017 annual meeting in LaGrange, IL. We always enjoy learning new things about the Met Club and talking about our Nash Mets. With the long hopefully warm summer ahead of us we will see everyone at our Fall Meeting on Sunday November 5, 2017 at 3pm at Baker Square in LaGrange, IL. Anyone have a great Nash Met story to post in out Newsletter? Please reach out to us and we can post. Please remember Membership Dues are due for 2017. Thank you, Lewis DLC
