Meetings were originally held once a month at the home of one of the
members, and it was more or less a family gathering. Dues collected at
that time were pooled at the end of the year, and usually spent on a
party for the members. The family theme still runs through the club with
many Husband and Wife memberships, including their children. It is not
uncommon to see teenagers at the meetings, and they get involved with
many of our activities

Yesteryear car club was formed in Shelton, WA in 1967 by people
interested in keeping alive the history and preservation of vintage and
older automobiles. Members didn’t necessarily have to have an old car,
but many did. Charter Members were: Howard and Pat Austin, John and
Evelyn Hubbard, John & Marge Temple, Winston Asche and Gene and
Sherry
Myers. Interestingly enough the Austins and Myers are still active in
the club.
Other early members included Don and Mary Kay Pauley, Rod and Carolyn
Olsen, and Art and Ernie Nicklaus to name a few.
