History
This group had been part of the original car club that started the Red, White, & Blueberry Show back in 1986. That first show was held in at the Jamesway parking lot on the White Horse Pike in Hammonton (currently home of Shop-Rite) and has grown from 15 to 20 Cars the first year to close to 500 cars today. The founding members also supported other car clubs in the area and worked together in promoting classic cars and the nostalgia of the 50's, 60's and 70's. |

Cruisin’ Classics Auto Club was formed in 1991 when a group of guys got together in a garage on Orchard Street in Hammonton and decided to start their own club. They had been part of another car club in South Jersey for almost 5 years. They decided to form their own car club so they could not only enjoy their cars, but also promote them and keep alive the youth they had back in the 50’s. The original 15 members met over several weeks and worked out the details that eventually formed Cruisin’ Classics Auto Club. They created a framework to operate, elected officers & board of directors, and applied to be a sub-chapter of the Fifty’s Automobile Club of America. They also determined that the car club should be open to anyone who enjoyed cars and would promote the classic car hobby. The original members also felt that once the new club was established, it would be required to donate much of the proceeds generated each year, back to the community in the form of scholarships to local schools, donations to organizations that help the less fortunate, and to the civic organizations in the surrounding area.
