2026 President – Al Padilla

May / June

Hello fellow members,

Spring is in the air. Here we are, waiting for the rain and humidity plus a step closer to the end of our car show season… but wait, that does not mean we have to stop. As we all know, weather is unpredictable around here and we may still enjoy a few club and non-club events in which we are always invited to participate.

I guess as one of the oldest car clubs in South Florida, we are pretty well known and “always on their minds.” When our Sergeant at Arms and yours truly recently attended a local “cruise in” in West Kendall, we were amazed by how many beautiful cars and people were in attendance. Lately, Miami is receiving plenty of new, never seen classics. We were not recruiting, but it gave us an opportunity to talk and disseminate Information about our club. I encourage our members to simply share our experiences at any opportunity you are given. The City of Miami Heritage Days event and the recent MOC brunch were other examples of your club activities where history and fun were part of a prescription to exercise our car hobby.

As always, keep in touch for future events, i.e. Memory Lane, Cuba Nostalgia exhibition and Lake Mirror. Remember contributions to this publication are always welcome, as well as the social media sites, and don’t forget to visit our website. But most important, please read your emails as your VP always says. Thanks to all that makes this possible.

Cheers,

Your President,

AL PADILLA
