Default 2nd Annual Buyers and Builders Oshawa Meet and Greet!!!

This year, we are happy to invite all Monte Carlo owners to this Oshawa event. This is your opportunity to meet the men and women who built your wonderful vehicle and thank them personally. Ever wonder how they installed something or how your car was painted? This is the event where you can ask the folks directly.

We will also have a signing tent which will allow you to have your car signed by those who built it - a wonderful keepsake and something which is sure to make your car stand out in shows.
