Lions Club president Ray Keegan says a group of Lions led by car committee chairman Paul Krueger look across the northeast every year to find the right car, which must be convertibles, V8 and automatic transmission.

"They are very good at screening out the Junkers and the rust buckets because we want to offer a quality product," he says. "We also get tips about available vehicles from ticket buyers and others."
