This web site has been set up to introduce you to the Panhandle Cruisers and let you know what we are all about.
Formed in 1981, the Panhandle Cruisers Car Club is
a nonprofit corporation that was set up to collect funds for charities and is founded on the principles of encouraging restoration,
repair, or modification of special interest vehicles. Although the organization has no national affiliation
you will likely find its members among any number of automotive organizations including the National Street Rod
Association, Mustang Club of America, Goodguys, Florida Mopar Association, Corvette Club of America, Pensacola Austin-Healey Club
or newer organizations such as the PT Cruiser Club to name but a few.
The type of vehicles found among the members varies as widely as the membership in the other clubs, ranging from restored
vintage automobiles from the early 1900’s, to street rods from the 30’s and 40’s, to muscle cars from the
60’s and 70’s, to present day front-wheel-drive imports. With the wide range of vehicles come
varying degrees of modifications from bone stock to big block Pro Street monsters. There truly is something
to satisfy every ones automotive taste.
As with the vehicles there are varying activities that the members undertake
ranging from the weekly cruise nights, to cruises through the countryside, dinner get-togethers, Christmas parties, and a
car show or three. The shows are perhaps the most popular venue for many of
the members who engage in showing their cars at almost
every opportunity. The Panhandle Cruisers
also co-sponsor and/or support select charity car shows, community events and festivals by promoting, managing, and providing
judging at these events. The organization also provides the ever-popular music of the 1950’s thru
the 80’s as well as the address system for event announcements. This is their way of giving back to the local communities,
as it receives no compensation for its services. Payment comes in the form of a large smile
from a little girl who has just won one of the many door prizes, raffles, or perhaps the ever-popular 50/50 drawing and knowing that thru different charities
we have aided people in need. Whatever the reason, a smile and a “thank you” makes it all worth
the effort.
So come along and join the Panhandle Cruisers
where you will always be a member of the family whether at a cruise night or on the highway. And remember
life is good friends, a clean ride, and the open road in front of you.
