CLUB HISTORY
In 1981, the founding members created a club under the auspices of
the Veteran & Vintage Chevrolet Club of Australia (WA Branch). The
club continued to grow and prosper and in 1985 members voted to form
their own club, the one you see to day:
The CHEVROLET CLUB OF WA Inc
In 1988, in conjunction with the Holden Car Club of WA Inc, the
General Motors Owners Day (GMOD) was formed in WA; other States
already had successful GMOD's. It was decided at the inaugural meeting
that the event would be bi annual and sponsor a single charity, one
that was not mainstream, not government funded but was to involve
children. The Association for the Advancement of Brain Injured
Children (AABIC) was selected and since that inaugural show in 1988,
GMOD has donated in excess of $165,000 to needy children.
The club is open to anyone with an interest in the Chevrolet brand,
whether they own a Chevrolet or not, there is no prerequisite to own
one, although we find members soon do. All Chevrolets are welcome, all
models and all years. The club owns, through the kind bequest of our
late member, Mr Tony Hoffman, a 1922 Model 490 Chevrolet, the oldest
registered Chev in WA.
The club is a keen supporter of the Council of Motoring Clubs (CMC)
and their events such as the Classic Car Show at Whiteman Park, now
held on the 4th Sunday of April each year, the National Motoring
Heritage Day (NMHD) held on the 3rd Sunday of May, the Annual Quiz
Night held at various dates and venues in July and the Brockwell Run
held on the 2nd Sunday of November. Proceeds from the Brockwell Run go
to the Motor Museum of WA at Whiteman Park.
The club is affiliated with all other Chev Clubs throughout Australia
and other all make clubs. Membership has remained fairly static at
around 80 for a number of years and like all other clubs in the
country, we find ourselves as an aging population. We encourage young
people into our club as they will be the custodians of our club in
future years.
