Our Last Show

Due to a limited availability of volunteers and after a 30 year run the Connecticut Council of Car Clubs regrets that the 2017 New England Air Museum Show will be our last. We want to thank our volunteers, show car owners, clubs and spectators for their support thru those years. We have been in touch with the Air Museum and wish to pass on our part of the show to one of our member clubs. If a club is interested contact John Bajumpaa at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to let us know. We have a participant list from previous shows available to the club that takes over and will put that club in touch with the New England Air Museum. .

It took Avon resident Paul Pellerin about three years to complete his first book, and now Connecticut Created Cars is published and available to the public.

He spent the first two years doing research, ultimately discovering 184 different automobiles manufactured throughout the state.

"Most people are amazed when you tell them how many cars were built in Connecticut," Pellerin said. "There’s maybe 41 built in Hartford and 21 in Bridgeport."

Pellerin, an Avon resident of 30 years and lifelong Connecticut resident, wrote Connecticut Created Cars, in recognition of the 25th Silver Anniversary of the Connecticut Council of Car Clubs, or 4Cs, and New England Air Museum Car Show & Aircraft Exhibit, which will be held on the first Sunday in June.

Pellerin's book provides a brief history of the 4Cs, a detailed list of automobiles created in Connecticut, sorted by city with over 90 accompanying illustrations, and information on major car shows and cruise nights throughout the state.

Daniel Nichols, a Connecticut Automobile Artist, provided the illustrations.
