So I got this jacket off E*** and few months back... Does anyone know anything about this club ? Trying to research it some.. The guy I bought it from says it was his club jacket.. No name on the front, looks be 60's vintage windbreaker.. Its a large and fits me well...
"Pace Makers"... Isn't that something old guys get to keep their heart going. Not a good name for a car club. Where was this jacket made?
Dennis O'brien list several pace maker 500 club plaques but I don't see that one. HRP Pace Makers 500 Bradford Crossed race flags 22012 Pace Makers 500 Butte Montana MT Crossed race flags 22037 Pace Makers 500 Grand Rapids MI Sedan 22038 Pace Makers 500 Harmony Minn MN Star 22034 Pace Makers 500 Pelham NC NC Crossed race flags 22036 Pace Makers 500 Radcliffe Iowa IA Crossed race flags 22052 Pace Makers 500 Richland MO MO Crossed race flags (State shape-vertical) 22039 Pace Makers 500 Roswell NM Crossed race flags 22066 Pace Makers 500 Seneca SC SC Crossed race flags 22045 Pace Makers 500 Soo Ont ON Canada Crossed race flags 12107 Pace Makers 500 24259 Pace Makers 500 Crossed flags 22016 Pace Makers 50
Probably a small High School club, there were a lot here in Tacoma, Dragons, Toppers, Rik Shaw's, Stompers, Steeds, etc
If the guy you bought it from was in the club (it was his jacket), was he not able to give mega details about the club? Are you sure it's 50 years old and not a newly done "nostalgia" jacket? I'm just looking at the one photo you posted, but it looks to be in immaculate condition.
its go some issues from wearing it, soiling on the cuffs, and around the collar... not a brass zipper coat.. not a nostalgia jacket for sure... should have asked some questions, and didn't...my bad .. lost to time
