Spring is a time of renewal, a time for shaking off the frost of winter and moving on to warmer temperatures and more activity. We have already written a post about spring break road trips, but we thought it would be a good time to take a look at the automotive industry and see what is coming our way.
The spring time calendar is just chock full of big time car shows. At GG Bailey, we make custom fit, custom designed car floor mats for all makes and models, so we always like to follow the news out of the big auto shows so we can better serve our customers.
