This year we celebrated our 30th year of Service to our Community!
The Classic cruisers Car Club (CCCC) was started in 1993 with the purpose of providing the owners of classic vehicles the opportunity to associate with others who share like interests, and serve our community..
The primary goals of the CCCC are:1. To have fun with our hobby, 2. To support our community through awareness of and fund-raising for local charities, 3. To promote increased interest in our hobby, 4. To make owning a classic vehicle an enjoyable and proud experience, 5. To assist owners of classic vehicles in the maintenance and preservation of their vehicles, 6. To participate in local community events and car shows to raise awareness and funds for local charities. These goals, together with our purpose, are in keeping with the highest standards of classic owners and enthusiasts. The success of CCCC depends largely its members…people who provide assistance and insight; participate in community events and activities; provide historical facts, technical tips, and sources for parts, meetings, conventions and shows; and contribute their ideas, energies, and talents towards promoting our hobby and having fun
