Re: [AMC-List] WPC Shows?

["Ross Guistino" <rossg@xxxxxxxxx>]

The reason our Club, The NorCal AMCs, exist is because the big club up here
in Northern California, which shall remain unnamed, treated us as second
class citizens.  So our founding President decided to start his own
gathering.  Unfortunately he could not keep it going as he has to relocate,
but I became President and held meetings and gatherings for almost 4 years
before handing off the gavel to another AMC enthusiast.  Our Club is small
but we have a good time.  We have been in Mopar shows and find the reception
from the crowd is good.  Would we ever become part of the big club again?  I
think not.

Subject: [AMC-List] WPC Shows?

Bob asked:

What's the current thinking (and experience) on this list about
participating in Mopar shows?

I'm considering bringing my '68 Ambassador to the Walter P. Chrysler show in
Elmhurst, IL. next Sunday.  It's no award-winner or 10-point restoration,
but it's been rebuilt and restored to good condition...and it's spring, and
I'd like to start hitting a show or two in the Chicagoland area.

I know that Chrysler corporate was no friend (to put it mildly) to AMC'ers
in the way they handled the takeover of AMC and the closing of the Kenosha
plant.  But I'm more curious about the current reception/attitude among
Mopar hobbyists towards AMCs.

Advice and experiences are welcome; flames re-hashing Chrysler's crimes
against AMC are not.  Thanks!

Well, I have never been to the Chrysler Club Spring Fling held each April
(last weekend this year) in southern California, but the SoCal AMX Club
members have displayed their cars there for the last couple of years and
there is a special class for AMC cars.  The feedback on their mailing list
has been good.
