YE OLDE CAR CLUB YEAR 2014 Ye Olde Car Club of the Tri-Cities was officially chartered in 1963 to preserve and maintain motor vehicles of historical value and to serve as an accurate and technical source of information concerning historical automobiles for the benefit of its members as well as the general public. Ye Olde Car Club is headquartered in Kennewick, Washington and has members primarily from Southeast Washington, Western Washington, Idaho and Alaska -- over a hundred individuals and families with nearly 400 antique and classic automobiles. Aside from regular weekly meetings, club members participate in frequent community and social events, driving tours both short and long, and a variety of activities each month. Annual dues are only $15, with the only membership requirement being an appreciation for historical automobiles. As an old car club, we are also there to guide you when you decide to buy an old car, help you to restore it, share stories about your car, and provide whatever it takes to see that owning an old car is an enjoyable experience for you! Our club has among it's members a wealth of knowledge about the auto industry that we would love to share with you. Some of our members usually can be found at the 2500 Queensgate Sterlings Restaurant in Richland at 8am on Wednesdays. Come and say "Hi". You'll be surprised at how much fun can be had for only $15 a year!

Martinolich Bruce Meyer Evert Moss Bob Puckett ESTABLISHING THE YE OLDE CAR CLUB Nearly 50 years ago the Ye Olde Car Club was started by Cork Simmelink, Bob Graves, Jerry Durham, and Jim Stafford of TriCities, along with Gil Linden, Dale Henson, and Russ Duffield from the Yakima area. Each of these men shared a passion for antique automobiles and the mutual desire to own, restore, maintain and drive these splendid old machines. There little group grew quickly as the number of members doubled, and then doubled again. Today the membership in the club includes over one hundred individuals and families. These members bring with them hundreds of classic cars of all vintages. Surely, the founders of the club never expected their creation to attract so much attention. More significant, they could never foreseen the special role the club would play as the members passed on an appreciation of the history of automotive technology to the next generation, and watched more and more youngsters recognize the importance of preserving these wonderful old relics.
