2008 GM Nationals
The GM Nationals were held in Carlisle PA, June 19-22, 2008.
Pontiac Enthusiast Magazine sponsored the "Pontiac Pavilion" and invited Kevin Morgan to be at their booth. This will be home to some of the cover & feature cars that graced the pages of their magazine over the last couple of years.
"The GM Nationals were a great time. We met a lot of great people, heard some wonderful comments, signed some autographs & sold some merchandise."
- Kevin Morgan
A Letter from Kevin Morgan:
The trip to The GM Nationals was great! It was so nice to be close to home and be able to drive my 81 Trans Am. It was quite an experience...Getting to set up in the Pontiac Pavilion sponsored by Pontiac Enthusiast Magazine was just awesome. Jim Wangers had a booth in there as well, what an honor! I had a wonderful conversation with him. To be set up so close to someone that was such a big part of Pontiac history was simply amazing. Thank you Jason & Mark from Pontiac Enthusiast for letting us set up there!
Then came the fans of my work, all I can say is, beyond a dream. To hear such comments as
"Your work is an inspiration to me and the students in my classroom. I use your drawings as examples to teach my kids Photoshop."
"You have no idea the following you have with this."
"Can I get your autograph?"
There were 3 boys that were approaching my table and I heard them say "There he is!" THAT is an amazing feeling. I never thought I would ever be "known" for something, especially coming from such a small town. I thank God, Pontiac Enthusiast, Jason Scott & Mark, and all my fans for all of their kind words.
It is because of all of you that keeps me going on this journey to try to bring back the Trans-Am.
"A very special Thank you to my wife Theresa & Cousin Danny for all your help over the weekend."
