About the St Louis Corvette Club (STLCC)
What is the St. Louis Corvette Club about?
Answer: Having fun. Meeting with old friends and meeting new friends. Road tours to interesting places. Dining out. Car shows. Charity events. The National Corvette Museum. Our membership is capped at 100 people. Our reason is that we feel a smaller club with interested, active members is a lot more enjoyable. To see if we have openings please email the membership.
Was the St. Louis Corvette Club really founded in 1953?
Answer: Most people didn't know anything about the Corvette prior to 1953 but it made a hit at the Motorama in New York City at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel - January, 1953. Only 300 Corvettes were produced that first year so they were hard to get. In June of 1953 when production began Jerry Craig, one of our very own members, talked over dinner to several new owners who had ordered a Corvette without ever seeing one. And so began the idea of a Corvette Club. In the 50s, members gathered at a restaurant for informal meetings with the primary interest being racing. As the club matured incorporation papers were filed and the first newsletters appeared in 1961. Membership dwindled in the 70s but the club was reactivated in 2004.
What is your connection with the Corvette Museum?
Answer: St. Louis Corvette Club is a proud lifetime member of the National Corvette Museum and has a number of members who are Lifetime Members also. We enjoy trips to the Museum and participate in many events there. Membership in the Museum is encouraged as there is no better way to support the Corvette Nation.
When are the Club Meetings?
Club meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:00 PM. Our sponsor is ELCO Chevrolet.
