    I was given these old CC plaques today by a friend who picked them up for free a while ago. They'll probably end up on the wall in the garage with a bunch of other stuff, but I figured I'd pop in here and see if anyone might have some history or stories. Just curious...

    Done.

    I did find a weblink to a Road Gems club, but they are in Nebraska.

    In 65, I was a student at NTSU taking Industrial Arts courses and the instructor for the foundry cl*** had car club plaques we could cast in aluminum. Not sure but I think that was one of the samples he had. I had my own I made that had Scavengers, and a roadster in the middle. Lost mine to time but I could still cast another. I have the master somewhere.

    Matt, I've got some old Hot Rod and R&C mags that have ads where you can order those. Just pick a logo, tell them your city, and voila - they mail em to you. Jackets too. You didn't have to be much of a club to have them, lol.

    Sounds like we might have taken the same foundry course 101 at North Texas only I took it in 66 - pretty cool cl*** I thought. Professor's name was Jerry McClain I think. I've still got a few casting left from the cl***. Had some good times up there in Denton.

    One and the same. Great instructor. Also took some other courses under Doc McCain. I went there until summer of 67 then joined the Navy. Went back and got my degree in 72.
