Albany Police Activities League (APAL) Classic Car Show Q and A
Why is APAL hosting a Classic Car Show? We were inspired by the Old Parked Cars: Albany feature on Albany Patch, http://albany.patch.com/articles/old-parked-cars-albany#photo-10260800. We are trying to raise awareness of our youth programs by creating an event for local car enthusiasts.
