History Any known Knowledge on California "LOS VILLANOS" Car Club

Hi,
I was hoping to get some help from anyone with any knowledge on the "Los Villanos" Car Club, originally based out of San Ysidro, California.
Particularly the years in which the club existed.

I found this photo of the Club Jacket + Plaque from the "Chula Vista Heritage Museum", unfortunately the link won't open as the museum is now permanently closed....

Any help would be GREAT !

 

I don't have any info about that club but do see that Dennis O'Brien has the original pattern for their plaques. That leads me to believe the club was around in the 50's or 60's .....

​

 

btt

 

The graphic on that plaque is awesome

 

My dad was a member in the late 50s or early 60s. I have his back center patch. He had a 54 chevy. I'll dig up the old patch.

 

I would love to find a club plaque

 

Call Dennis O'Brien

Dennis O'Brien here.
The picture that Bill posted above is of the original pattern used to make your father's car club plaques back in the 1950/60's by Chicago Metal Craft of Port Chicago, Calif. It's one of the 8,000 patterns I have from that company.
I can make you as many as you'd like from 1 to hundreds. Give me a call at 508-248-1555 and we can talk details and I can take your order.
Happy Truckin',
Dennis O'Brien
