Just got mine in yesterday's mail! It just can't get any better than this... all for just $30.00 a year + chapter dues, with dozens of beautiful pictures and in depth articles by the "godfathers" of professional cars ie; Walt McCall, Tom McPherson, Gregg Merksamer and George Hamlin, professionally edited and assembled by Brady Smith and his team. THANKS to all of you including Paul Steinberg and anyone else I may have missed mentioning that makes this the best (and most active) club and website around. Move over CLC and the Packard Club... the Renewed PCS running up next to you guys! MM
 
I agree with you Mike, the PCS is a fabulous organization to be part of. I look forward to every single issue of The Professional Car, what a magazine! We really have some amazing people contributing and running the magazine and the PCS, thanks guys!

i strongly agree with you guys. best car mag out there. look forward to mine and then dont stop reading till i've read every word. dont know about you guys but im like a kid in a toy shop anymore. wishing and wanting. if i won the lottery i would have a shop full of pro cars. no big vacations, no extravagant homes across the country, just a shop full of pro cars and a happy owner sitting and looking at them. my idea of heaven.
 
Mine arrived in the mail yesterday. As Ive said before, THIS magazine with a VOLUNTEER staff beats the other national club magazine (with a paid editor) that i get hands down!
 
I could not agree more, I subscribe to quite a few car magazines and I must concur that TPC is my favorite magazine and I read it from cover to cover as well. Each article is meticulously researched, and so well written each article is a pleasure to read. I also love the barn find articles, and I hang on to every word and love the eye candy in each stunning photograph in the publication.

I look forward to each upcoming issue, and I think it would be so cool if we started having "action" shots added here and there where owners stage their professional cars in photo shoots that show their car in an on scene or in action type shot, like the manufacturers used to do with their factory photographs and sales literature. Whether leading a funeral procession through a beautiful old cemetery, or staging an ambulance on-scene lit up, and the vintage uniform clad crew loading the patient into the back on the side of a road somewhere. That would be so cool!

The magazine is a study in automotive history, and I hope the big publishers like Hemmings have comp subscriptions so they can see what a fine job the PCS is doing documenting the history of the professional car.

I am anxiously awaiting mine too! Mine seems to come a week, or so after the first person says "got mine today" Whenever it arrives, it is always worth the wait.
 
Is it still printed in Mason City, Iowa as it was years ago? I seem to always get mine early(middle of this week).
 
It is now printed in Jefferson City, MO.. Mine came on December 26th. This issue is the 1st Quarter 2013, and wasn't supposed to be in the mail till the first week of January 2013, so everyone got theirs early.
Please remember to check the address label and see what issue your membership ends with. If it is 146 or 147, please renew your membership as soon a possible. For your convenience, you can use the website renewal system in the top right hand corner of every page. It is the Blue Icon that says "To Join or Renew Your Membership Click Here".

Not yet a member? Now is a great time to join, and see all the great articles in The Professional Car that you have been missing.
 
Paul, check your calendar.

We are early out with this issue thanks to an overzealous printer but we are not THAT early. 147 is the first Q 2013 Issue.
 
I changed the 2014 to 2013.. I have an excuse.....
My fingers don't know the differance between the 3 and the 4 because both keys feel the same.
 
Mine must have arrived on the 22 or the 24th. Because of the other thread on the 23 saying one arrived in someones mailbox, I checked mine on the 24th just as the post office was getting ready to call me, (I also got a package and they wanted to make sure I got them by Christmas) Gotta love the small towns!!
 
My copy of The Professional Car arrived today. It looks great, as usual. I was surprised to see my old 1961 Eureka limo-style combo in there. We bought the car from John and Phyllis Schmidt back in 1999 and had it for a couple of years. We sold it to a dentist in Colorado, who sold it to a PCS member who has a collection of Eurekas, but I can't think of the name, maybe Ogley, or Ogden. Anyway, that is one of the cars I wish I kept.

You are thinking of Virgle Onnen. He still owns it.
