The Orphan Car Group Comes to Pomona

The Orphan Car Group – Follow Up

We would like to thank the Orphan Car Group for attending the April 17, 2016 Pomona Swap Meet to show us a few of the “gone but not forgotten” marques of auto manufacturers past. They delighted the crowd with a display of fun and rare classics; from race cars to beach cruisers, original to restored, you were sure to see something to put a smile on your face.

“Studebaker Steve” Broock, who organized the outing, would like to invite all “orphan” car drivers to the 9^th Annual Orphan Car Night at Irwindale Speedway, on June 11, 2016. The day’s festivities will begin at 1:30 p.m. at Cabrera’s Mexican Restaurant, 1856 Huntington Drive, Duarte, Calif. There will be some visiting and tire kicking, lunch, and then a cruise to Irwindale Speedway, 500 Speedway Drive, Irwindale, Calif., where the orphan vehicles will take a couple of parade laps around the track prior to the night’s racing. If you would like to be included on Studebaker Steve’s Orphan Car Event List, call (909) 973-6955 or email [email protected] for more information.

If you’re a car club member and would like your club to enjoy a free day at a future Pomona Swap Meet & Classic Car Show, please contact Matt by email or at (714) 538-7091.
