SACRAMENTO – The California New Car Dealers Association (CNCDA) announced that registrations of new cars and light trucks in California continue to outpace national numbers.

“We have seen the bottom and folks are returning to the showroom” said Tom Hoffman, CNCDA chairman and owner of Puente Hills Chevrolet. “We expect slow but steady growth over the next couple of years.”

She said baby, can’t you see
I wanna be famous, a star on the screen
