The Saddle Brook Marriott, less than one mile from the show, is offering a reduced room rate to show attendees/vendors. Contact them at 201-843-9500 and ask for the "Metro" room bloc rate of $99.00. They will honor the rate until March 30, so make reservation before then.

Chas, one of the vendors mentioned he was bringing pedestal air meters to sell.
Also, a new vendor signed up with NOS Coca Cola signs.
Its a full house inside, might be able to squeeze in a few more tables for any last minute dealers. Plenty of room in the parking lot for outside vendors.
Anyone coming into town early (on Sat. am), PM or email if interested in checking out a local car collection/restoration shop.

a vendor testimonial I received this AM:
Dear Ed,
Once again thanks so much for the opportunity to participate in this year's Metro Petro show. When all was said and done and all the monies counted, it was one of the best shows of any kind that I've ever had. Please pencil Big Bob and I in for next year's show.
Regards,
Rich Z
