In late 1971, our group held a few informal meetings which led to our Charter with the AACA on February 10, 1972. One of the first activities organized by this new chapter was our Annual Auto Show on the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. The first two years it was a judged show. Then we changed to a nonjudged show giving each car that came to the show a Commemorative Plate and Plaque. The Show has grown over the years and we still offer the Plate! We had a Curved Dash Olds on our first plate and have featured a variety of cars since then.
We enjoy being a chapter of the Illinois Region and stay very active for a club with a small membership. Other club functions include our Spring Dust-Off Car Tour, an Annual Picnic, Bowling Party and our Annual Holiday Dinner.
Chapter meetings are held every third Wednesday of the month at members’ homes. Activities and meetings are generally in the Sandwich area.
