Local vets receive refurbished cars from area business

Two Connecticut Veterans each received a refurbished car courtesy of Progressive Insurance, Pete’s CARSTAR of South Windsor, and the National Auto Body Council. The refurbished cars were a 2012 Ford Escape and a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe. The partnership between Pete’s CARSTAR and the Newington CT Progressive Service Center was part of a one day, countrywide event called Keys to Progress. Through their collaboration, they brought the cars to like-new appearance and working condition. Car recipients are David Seelye (far left) and Christina Harvey (far right).
