Car Club History
 |
Street Classics Car Club
was formed by a few founding members in 1991 to pursue and keep the interest
of owning, maintaining and driving old and new automobiles as a hobby and
to have fun together as a group. The club has grown to only 25 local members.
|
 |
We are very active in the community by volunteering our time and effort
to keep this hobby alive. We support many local events including our own
Annual outdoor car show (1st Sunday in Aug.), Cruise nights, two local
indoor mall car displays, and numerous parades.
|
 |
We also support other car
shows in and out of the area both as a group and individually.
|
 |
We generate
money through these activities to be donated at the end of the year to
our main charity, Juvenile Diabetes
Foundation (JDRF). We chose this charity because one of our first
members has diabetes and we want to make this "The Decade of
the Cure".
|
 |
We
also participate in Santa Claus Lane Parade with a Float decorated
with someone's car.
|
 |
To date, we have donated $34,000.00
to JDRF
|
 |
In
1994, Street Classics won the "Outstanding
Organizational Award of Excellence" from Juvenile Diabetes
Foundation for our outstanding support. Along with that, we have
donated approximately
$6650 to
numerous other charitable institutions, including: |
 |

 |
The Robert S. Matthews Memorial Fund |
 |
The club has also adopted 2.2 Miles of Route 17 between Olean and Hinsdale.
|
 |
In 1995, because of our involvement in and around the community, we won
the local Olean Chamber of Commerce "Good
Neighbor Award for a Club".
