  4. They may have not come up on the Trucker site. I'm trying to put a list of DFW clubs together.

    The Chaparrals had a small, thin aluminum "plaque". Originally they were affixed to the dash's of the members cars. The never had the "typical" aluminum plaques.

    O'brien did make some for the club, and I do believe that they are on the website.
     
  6. The "Quartermilers" are still a club,..They also had plaques..They are the ones that hosted the Dallas Autorama for 30-40 years,, The "Rod Benders" also had car plaques.
    However most of us old farts have died..I was active in Dallas area car activities during the 50-80s and have never heard of the names listed on the OP list..most of all the "CAR" guys during this period of time shopped at our store,,Texas Oldest Speed shop at that time..
     
  7. These are the clubs listed on O'Brian Truckers site for "Dallas", but Actually according to the U.S. census report, there are 4 cities named Dallas located in IL, GA, TX, AND IA. There are nine townships with the name of Dallas in IN, MO, AR, MI, IA, NC, OH, and IL. PA has one borough with the name of Dallas, SD and NC have towns named Dallas, and WI has one village named Dallas.
