Hello all!
It’s always a challenge looking into new and fun venues to host our club meetings. Normally we try to keep the theme close to our performance sports car roots. I decided to venture slightly away from that with our January meeting, which I hope you will all enjoy. Through the help of CAT member and retired LA County Fire Captain Bruce Davis, we are meeting January 18th at 10 am at the Los Angeles County Fire Museum located at 16400 Bellflower Blvd, Bellflower, CA 90706.
For those of you, like me, who grew up watching 70’s television when there were only three networks, who can forget Emergency the TV show? Well among many other interesting items, the museum currently is the home of the famous Squad 51 and Engine 51 vehicles. In addition, the museum has 60 antique fire engines in its collection, including fire engines from the 1860s through just-retired apparatus.
There’s a conference room area we can have our meeting, and according to Bruce, if there’s people working on the restorations at the shop a block and a half away, we might be able to get a quick tour of their facility and all the BIG vehicles they are restoring. It’s not open to the public, but maybe we can ask.
There’s on site parking, first come first served, but please no leaking cars on their concrete. There’s also a parking garage across the street. It’s only $5 to get in and I’m sure everyone will get a kick out of some great LA History.
Hope ato see you all there!
