President’s Message

The CAL-RODS Car Club of the San Gabriel Valley has been around since 1954. We are celebrating our 66^th Year! If you have a classic car, truck, or hot rod, or just want to share a love for old cars while getting together with old and new friends, CAL-RODS invites you to join us at our monthly meeting, which is held on the 1st Tuesday of every month at the La Verne Community Center, 3660 D Street, La Verne, CA. Meetings start at 7 p.m.

       CAL-RODS currently has over 230 members and is very active in the community. Our annual showcase event, which is in its 14th year, is the Santa Anita “Run with a Winner” Car Show and is scheduled for May 17, 2020.The show is held on the infield of the Santa Anita Race Track, in Arcadia, Ca. The show is the Club’s major fundraiser and allows the Club to donate thousands of dollars each year to select charitable organizations, like the Volunteers for Veterans Foundation, Ronald McDonald House, and Children’s Hospital of Orange County.

       In addition to the Santa Anita show, the Club will hold the Brackett Field Air Fair & Car Show on October 24, 2020. We also host a Car Corral on the 3rd Saturday of every month. We meet from 7:30-10:30 at O’Reilly Auto Parts, 501 N Azusa Ave, in Covina. Please join us for casual conversation, coffee, and pastries.

CAL-RODS members also volunteer their time to help organize the NHRA Twilight Cruise held on the 1st Wednesday of each month at the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum, in Pomona, Ca. They keep busy with an Annual Picnic, a Christmas Dinner/Dance, private car collection tours, shop and museum tours, and various other car shows and cruises. CAL-RODS is proud to say we’re “still cruising after all these years,” and we definitely live up to it.
