3rd CKCC Roadtrip. Pt Vincente Lighthouse/FtMcArthur.8/14/10

This is the big one. Our third CKCC Roadtrip for Saturday, August 14th, 2010 in San Pedro/Rancho Palos Verdes, California. This will be a picture taking opportunity in the making:

The 3rd Chrysler K-Car Club Roadtrip. Historic Fort McArthur/Point Vincente Lighthouse , San Pedro, Ca.
Date: Saturday, August 14th, 2010. 10AM-5PM

Starting Point: East-West Bank, 18321 Ventura Blvd, Ste 600, Tarzana, Ca. Wheels-up at 10:00 AM. 45 miles to location.

1st Destination: Point Vincente Lighthouse. Open once a month. Free admission. 11:00AM-12:00 PM

2nd Destination: Lunch at CoCos in San Pedro. 12:30-1:30PM

3RD Destination: Historic Fort McArthur Military Museum, 3601 S. Gaffey St, San Pedro, Ca. 90731
A guided tour. 1:30PM -5 PM. I will try to get us a ride on their 1941 WWII troop transport truck. Almost too much to see in one day.

Cost:
$3.00 for the museum, and your own fuel. You pay for your meal at the restaurant. Suggested $2.00 donation for lighthouse.

Required: Strip maps will be provided. Cell phones are recommended. Bring a hat and a jacket. A camera is highly recommended for club advertising and memories. We definitely need another volunteer to record this trip on VHS or DVD for an enhanced CKCC recruitment tool. This is one of our most cherished events.

Roundtrip from Tarzana: Roughly 90 miles.

Deadline: There is none. However, out of consideration for the museum docents, please let me know by August 7th if you will be there for sure. Just phone me at 818-219-2587. I am setting up guided tours. We hope to attract a lot of positive attention. We will try to park all our cars together wherever we go.

Its been finalized for a couple weeks now. Hope to see a you there. Fun and history is the big
theme in this event. 8) So far, I am happy to report we have about 5-6 confirmed. I think we can get a lot of more through a series of future email reminders and phone calls.

Not as many people as I had hoped, but still a good turnout we should have. Here are the players. I hope more of you come:

-Leaving for San Pedro-
Myself with 1989 Dodge Aries LE Coupe
George with 1982 Chrysler LeBaron Coupe
Ray with 1985 Plymouth Caravelle Sedan
Mike Hennessey with 85 Chrysler LeBaron Conv
Paul Nix with 1985 LeBaron TC Wagon
Armando with 86 Dodge 600 Conv

-Meeting us in San Pedro-
Jonah with 81 Reliant Sedan 2.6
Snieder with 83 New Yorker 2.6
Veronica with 88 Aries Wagon from Canada

-Up in the air. Unable to communicate-

Robert with 85 LeBaron Conv
Andy Aguirre with 85 TC Wagon
Joe DiGrazia with 84 TC Wagon

-Those who said they would TRY to make it. We'll see.-

Lady from Oxnard with 87 LeBaron Sedan
Juan with 87 New Yorker
Matt with 82 Aries Wagon
Pauline Wilson with 87 Dodge 600 Sedan
Frank Aguirre with 87 Aries Woody Wagon

I think we'll get lucky and get 7 on this one. It seems more people come to Spring Fling then roadtrips. 8) Will be lobbying craigslist sellers with offers to take pics of their cars and get them assistance
if they come to my roadtrip. Of course, I will anyway, but this roadtrip will provide me with a recruitment tool. Video camera and pics will be in tow.

I was so looking forward to this trip in my new purchase; a 1986 Chrysler LeBaron Town and Country Convertible. (I'm Looking for a wagon too.) I am a new member and was anxious to start networking with other K car lovers. Sad to say I will be in Las Vegas helping a friend at an convention. If there are other K-car lover who live in So. Cal. and want to meet more often let me know. I live in Palm Springs now but get into town often. K-CARS FOREVER!

Well I will be there. I can't wait. Thanks for finally doing what I have been thinking of for a long time. Organizing people who want to preserve these historic cars that have been the butt of jokes for too long. They used to laugh at Ramblers too, and now they are prized for their individuality. If there were no people like us the museums wood be empty.
Soon I will post pictures as soon as I learn how to reduce the files.

That was a lot of fun. We had 9 or 10 cars and a great time. For those who missed out: AC and I took over 700 photos (though some were just of the lighthouse and Fort Macarthur). Enclosed a few teaser pictures to start with.
