First Southern California Lincoln Mark VII Club Meet. October 29, 2006

Today, the The Lincoln Mark VII Club held it's first west coast event. It was held in Glendale, Ca., just 10 miles nortneast of Los Angeles, at Bob's Big Boy, a restaraunt well known for hot rod, custom car and motorcycle meets for over 40 years.


Bob's Manager, (in costume.... kinda has that Rod Stewart look goin' on), pledged to help us in any way he could and was a funny guy anyway!

The meet was held at 1:00 pm and the turnout was small but sucessful for an event held on such short notice. Tha manager was most hospitable and tells us that events like this take a while to catch on but usually gain momentum rapidly.

In attendance were:
1987brent
Mrs. 1987brent
Junkyardkat
and myself, artbaileyjr

1987brent & Mrs. 1987., brought their beautiful light blue (yep, you guseesd it) 1987 LSC. Junkyardkat drove her white 1991 LSC and I arrived in my dark blue 1987 LSC.



Tee shirts with the club logo were handed out as well as a CD containing the songs, "Hot Rod Lincoln" (Charlie Daniels version), "Loretta Lynn's Lincoln", "Crazy 'bout a Mercury" ( OK!... not too darn many songs out there about Lincolns! I had to pinch hit!), and the original Commander Cody and the lost planet airmen's version of "Hot Rod Lincoln", to listen to on the drive home.


Mr. & Mrs. 1987brent are delightful people and enthusiastic about their Mark and the Club.

We chatted at the cars for 40 minutes or so then went inside and had a great lunch. We all felt as though we had met long lost friends, and were sorry to adjourn at about 4:45.

left to right: Mrs. 1987brent, 1987brent, artbaileyjr, junkyardkat.

We did not set a formal date for the next meeting, but agreed on a monthly Meet & Greet. I will post the date as soon as I can figure out how to avoid the important upcoming holliday dates.

I think that the club has forged a firm core out here to truly spread the membership coast to coast.

Thanks for everybody's support.
