Club History

It all started in 1972, with a small group of six families getting together to discuss pre- 1949 American autos and up-dating them to present standards. There was also a national organization at the time trying to be known, and this small group wanted to try to get the hobby of street rodding started in central Alabama and become members of the National Street Rod Association  

These people were not mechanics or necessarily connected with automobiles as careers, but had the love of cars as a hobby in common.  As with any club, it takes a devoted group to get it cranked up, and a just as devoted group to keep it going.

Today, there are 36 families involved, but we don’t just discuss autos.  Each year, we sponsor one or two families at Christmas time, and through out the year, devote time and monies to charities in central Alabama.  

The Capital City Street Rod Association has a “Cruise-In” at Flip’s restaurant at the corner of Taylor and Vaughn roads, the last Saturday of each month, from 6:00pm until? Where cars are put on display for the public.  We welcome Antiques, Classics, VW’s, Harleys, Goldwings and Customs.
