So. Cal. Region Information |
 |
|

The Southern California Region Chevrolet Club
is a Region associated with the National Vintage Chevrolet Club of
America (VCCA). The So. Cal. Region is within a Southern
California Division (#1) of the National VCCA.
The So. Cal. Region began during the late 1960's and
has continually existed within the Long Beach/Cerritos/Cypress/Lakewood
area since its beginning. Currently, due to lack of another Region
in the South Bay area (Torrance/San Pedro/etc.) members who reside in
these areas belong to our Region. Several other Regions exist in
Division 1 which is includes Arizona and northern California.
Our Region has monthly meetings in the Long
Beach area. The specific location is listed in the monthly
Newsletter available in this Web Site. During each month our members usually schedule tours (day
long) and many times join with other Regions in the area on Tours they
may schedule.
We invite you to join in on our meetings
(free refreshments) and see if you like us. We do not require that
you have a vintage Chevy and many times our members drive modern's on
our Tours.

The picture to the left is of members Jim
Lundal (lt.) and Bob Jeppesen (rt.) delivering the Region donated gifts
for 2008 to Miller Children's
Hospital in Long Beach. The two employee's pictured are with the
hospital wagons which our Region donated earlier last year.
Below are Pictures of our Regions recent
participation in the Opening Ceremonies (June 2007) for the Front Drive
into Miller
Children's Hospital.
Jim Lundal was contacted, as a result of our Regions constant
representation with the hospital, to supply a couple of cars for the
Opening Ceremonies. They wanted specific years of cars which were
1907, 1960, 1970 and present time. On the listed years notable
expansions took place at the hospital and the beginning year was 1907.
Jim solicited ex-region member Lee Lieberg (1969 Chevelle) and Jim used
his 1960 Corvette. A BMW was supplied by a local dealer and driven
by the hospital CEO. |

Above Jim & Lee's cars are visible covering the
new BMW convertible . Jim had a patient riding with
him as she liked Corvettes. This was the first inauguration of
driving on the circular drive area. It was probably christened
with a couple of drops of oil also. |

Below
are the Region representatives presenting our donation to Miller
Children's Hospital in
Long Beach, Ca. on April 2007 The club has donated children's Christmas
gifts each year, in lieu of exchanging gifts at our Christmas Party, and
the club voted on making a further donation early this year. The
wagons pictured join a fleet of other wagons which are used by the
hospital to haul children around for their various tests. Wagons
are much less intimidating that wheelchairs.
