Connersville set to land Carbon Motors

Pictured above is the Carbon Motors produced Police Car shown while on tour in the United States. Reports indicate that Carbon Motors has selected Connersville, IN as the location where the new police cars will be produced. The venture is expected to create up to 1,500 new jobs for the area of Fayette County and beyond. Carbon Motors will acquire the building formerly home to Visteon which filed for bankruptcy late last year. This is welcome news to not only Fayette County, but Rush, Wayne, Union, Ripley and even Decatur County as well. The announcement is expected later today and state officials including Governor Mitch Daniels will be in attendance.

Living like Tony

Six, has had the pleasure of having NASCAR driver and Columbus, IN native Tony Stewart sign his dashboard which sits proudly in the vehicle.

Shine it up
