PCS PRESIDENT WINS FIRST PLACE IN CAR SHOW
September 6, 2020:  President Paul Steinberg and First Lady Sandy attended the Sunday In the Park at Lime Rock CT.  Last year, their car won 1st place in the Meeting of the Marques.  This year, they were invited back to the Concours Event, and once again, the 1962 Chevrolet was awarded "Best in Class" in the First Responders category.  It is truly an amazing car that everyone that walked by it, stopped to look at it.
