Louisville, KY and Sacramento, CA (October 3, 1997) - "Hollywood and
the Cars", an original musical highlighting fabulous classic cars and
great music from the golden era of movies, will debut tonight at the
Towe Ford Museum in Sacramento California.  The entire performance,
which begins at 8pm PDT, will be cybercast live on The Auto Channel
internet network.

"While I hate to admit we knew nothing about this event until an hour
ago"; said Bob Gordon, President of The Auto Channel; "our ability to
react quickly enough to provide a live world wide cybercast from the
Towe Ford Museum speaks volumes about how experienced we've become at
doing these webcasts".  "If there's any doubt that the internet and TV
is merging, this will dispell it.  We're living in a very exciting
time.", Gordon added.

The Towe Ford Museum is the world's most complete antique Ford Museum,
with more than 150 vehicles.  Every year and model car produced by
Ford between 1903 and 1953 is on display.  The Towe Collection was
amassed by Edward Towe, a Ford enthusiast.
