Looking for info on old car club: Jokers, Rome, Georgia

Anybody know anything about the Jokers of Rome, GA? Years of existence? Are they still in existence? People involved with the club? Any info appreciated.

 

A book I have, called Hot Rod and Custom Car Clubs by Fred Thomas, lists known car clubs from the 30's thru the 60's and the Jokers from Rome, GA are listed along with about 20 other Jokers clubs.

Not much info but at least you know the club was in existance somewhere within that time frame.

 

Thanks, Bullet Nose. That gives me a time frame.

None of you Georgia guys know anything about this club!?

 

T-time, I am 54 y/o and lived in Rome Georgia since birth and never heard of a Jokers Car club in this town.

 

never heard of them but that is a cool plate.

 

That may indicate that this is a very early club, then. The book that Bullet Nose says that they are listed in goes all the way back to the Thirties. I wonder when these type club plaques started being made? Thanks for the input.

 

I'll get back to you on the PM that you sent.

 

Has anybody seen a placque that says torquemasters lake city with a torque wrench and a coupe on it??? Made by Chicago Metal Craft Port Chicago,Calif. in about 1958 +- I belong to the club . Let me know........

 

T Time your PM mail box is full. Try to contact T.C that ran for mayor of your city he can tell you.. Call his old place on south side..

 

This one? .....

​

Dennis O'Brien has the original pattern for this plaque.

 

Check with Vern Miller at Rockmart GA, he's a car guy from way back who lived in Rome many years, he would know if anybody does.

 

I have the original patterns from Chicago Metal Craft, Port Chicago, Calif. for both of the plaques mentioned above. Need any repops?
