More Prince George clubs from the early seventies The Early Rods and, I think it was called Spruce City Street rod assn.....someone could correct me on the latter.

NO....it was called Centre City Street Rods, not Spruce City

Should be Klassics, Mission. There is no Mission Classics. I started the club in 1983. Club still exists. Lived in Mission district 73-98. 7 years in Ruskin, then Mission City. I don't know if the Fifty 567 club is considered a custom club as we had customs, street machines and stockers, all Pontiacs, Chevs and pickups from 55,56,57. I started that club in 1977 in Surrey and it is still going today. Also Classic Chevy Club from Surrey. Modified and stock.

Thanks fordnutz; Noted & changed ,I knew for sure about the Klassics with a K 'cause I have seen the club plaque. I cann't remember where I found the Mission Classics , but at the time I thought they might be the same ,but it was spelt with a "C". One more to add which makes a total of 155 is the Valley Street Rod Ass'n (Kelowna).

Floyd i see you have the charioteers of victoria here, I have the club plaque but the car guys I know never heard of the club. Is there any information that any of the members could pass on. I went to see a young man about a pedal car for my grandson and he had this plaque so I bought it, it's old, looks like someone did some carving to make the pattern. Thanks Gord.
 
Thanks NITRO HUNTER; Is Cowichan Valley Rod & Custom a different club from Cowichan cruisers? If so ,I will adjust list as noted.
