Steel Dreamz

On Saturday August 20th, a few members of the Copperstate

over to Steel Dreamz to take a gander at some of the cars they

had for sale. There was a wide range of cars available from a 66

Mustang to a new Cadillac DTS to a Olds 442. We met Pam

who is the owner of the business and was very knowledgeable of

the cars in her showroom. She is always looking for new inven-

tory so if you are considering selling a car, give her a call. Per-

haps in the near future we can plan another trip to see what new

cars are up for sale in her showroom.
