Batchelers car club photos wanted. Especially pics of Jack Cameron in his Bachelors jacket. I know this is a long shot, but we’re hoping some old Long Beach folks will see this. Thanks.
If your on Instagram, look at ‘46to64’, Ross Ruiz’s account. It has historical photos and narrative of many SoCal car clubs, mostly Lakewood, LBC, Compton, Lynwood, Downey etc.. It’s a good site….
https://www.motortrend.com/news/0912-lrmp-bachelors-ltd-car-club-east-los-angeles/ ...seems 58 was the year...quoted below... "The Bachelors Car Club was established as a lead sled and hot rod club back in 1958, and made their first appearance that year at a Long Beach, California car show that was organized by the Renegades Car Club." Chili just snooping a bit...this is a bit of an overview of the club and if there's anything to be gained at a minimum it would be the year the club was formed... There's 27 pics at the link but nothing older than the early to mid 60s...
https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Public-figure/BACHELORS-LTD-CAR-CLUB-230336870347188/photos/ ...FB is many times given a pretty negative rap but I've sourced some great content there and this also shows the Club is still a force...that's roots back to 58 but no Hotrods yet or pics back in 58...
I got nuthin on the Bachelors, but how about the He Man Woman Haters Club? Here's the members giving the club sign
I have there club plaque. I believe my dad was either a member or a hang around. Sure wish he was here to provide any info.
Hambers @RRuss and @eric have ties to the Bachelors CC... Perhaps when they get this page or if those that know them give the a buzz they hopefully will chime in and share some of the older history of the Club... Now this is perhaps another chapter but in search Compton is relatively close to Long Beach... Here is a pretty awesome video from 1959 that RRuss shared at the link shared...it is Lions DS...is there any Batchelors Hotrod/Customs in the mix...dunno... https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/1959-car-show-lions-drags-and-m-c-hill-climb.855273/
Anyone have info on this truck? Part of this club? Found it in the Island Dragway , Great Meadows, NJ thread full of 60s photos.
