Soon after the formation of the "Society of Automotive Historians - Wisconsin Chapter" the first issue of "The Spark" was published and served as the newsletter, along with detailed articles focused on Wisconsin vehicles and the people, places, and related businesses behind them. The links below will provide you with a glimpse of our past as the Wisconsin Society of Automotive Historians saw the state of the automotive industry. The ‘Carhart Chronicle’ Newsletters carry on in the same tradition as ‘The Spark’ but with a little more flair and color thanks to editor Ralph Kalal.
