I joined the Club in 2008 after my friend “Mr. Ed” ( Ed Schoenthaler, who I knew from his days selling musclecars at Brigance Chevrolet ) told me I could display my newly restored, original owner 1967 SS427 Chevelle at the Oak Brook Father’s Day Car Show by becoming a member of the CCCA. He said I did not have to own a Classic to be a member so I joined. My brother and I went to that show when it first ran in 1968 with our Dad and every year after that until he passed in 1997. Our Dad was a Packard guy and we grew up loving anything with an engine and wheels. Because I am a member of the Club, the Father’s Day Show is a unique time when my musclecar can be shown with Classics.

I am a retired marketing guy with a second career as a free-lance photographer and contributor to Hemmings Motor News and Muscle Machines. I look forward to using my skills to make a contribution to the Club !
