When I was deployed in 2017 I was emailing my Dad and Tiffany back and forth to try

and find a truck that I would like. I found a few of them that were okay, and a few that

were beautiful but out of my price range. Then my Dad sent me the Craigslist ad for a

beautiful 1963 Chevrolet C10 pickup

in Cardinal Red. As soon as I saw the

truck I knew I would love it, but it

too was above my price range so I

told my dad that I was going to mes-

sage the guy about that one. Well

about the time that I messaged him

the next day it had sadly already

sold. I moved on to the next and a

few weeks later my dad told me to

just wait and we would go look at

some when I got back.

After I got back we went to a few

places and looked around and I al-

most bought another one, but my

Dad was nit-picking it to no end, so I

passed. That weekend we had a wel-

come home dinner for me and my

dad sent us to the store to get some-

thing that he forgot. When I got back

he and all of my family were standing

in the garage and there she was…

That beautiful 63’ C10 and she even

had a big bow on it!

Since then I have been putting a

lot of time into her to get it to run

smoother and more dependably. I’ve

replaced the worn out L6 230 w/ a 3

-speed trans with a SBC 350/700r4,

new steering column, gas tank, AM/

FM/XM/Bluetooth radio, and many more things to come.

President’s Report

The year 2021 is just ahead

and hopefully it will be filled with SGCCC events and pro-

jects that have something for every member. Of course,

the usual events will be there, like the First Saturday, Second

Saturday and Third Thursday Cruise-

Ins. I hope we can have a great Drive & Dine every month and find new and dif-

ferent places to "cruise to". We are blessed with pretty good weather all

year and we are blessed with interesting people to hang out with. What more

can you ask for?

One of our goals in the past was to in-

volve ourselves in more community events to enhance our profile in the

community. That will continue to be a

goal in 2021. We need to get more sign-age for our vehicles to let the commu-

nity know that the SGCCC is present and accounted for. If those community

events happened to involve youth, that would be even better because that will

also be one of our goals, to involve more

youth in our events and impacts.

At the January 2021 meeting, we will find leadership for Events Coordinator,

Membership, Cruiser Development,

Promotions, etc. Joe did a great job on the events and photographs in 2020,

Fred and Hardy did a great job of mem-bership, Ed and Annette tended to the

cruiser and Tiffany had great T-Shirt creation. Many others also did their

part to make 2020 successful. Each and

every member has an opportunity to serve. But that is up to you. I have al-

ways been of the opinion that you de-cide your level of involvement.

Looking forward to 2021 in the SGCCC. Thanks.

Dan Bremer, President

December 1, 2020

Meeting: club president Dan Bremer opened the December meeting at 6:45 pm at Austin’s Cattle Company. The opening prayer was led by Paul Worth and Johnny Swilley led the Pledge of Allegiance. There were 28 members in attendance.

Dan introduced new members Tim Wright and his 302-powered ’31 Ford and Bill & Ed Halter with a Camaro Z28 Hugger Edition.

Minutes: the November minutes were read by club secretary Bob Raffaele. After an addition by Joe Simpson noting Tiffany Baker and Mike Dasher’s role in the success of the Fall Classic car show, the minutes were then approved.

Treasurer’s Report: Donna Roberson presented the No-vember report and it was approved by those present. Car show netted $1,517 after expenses.

Old Business: Joe reported 60 registered cars making the Fall Classic

Car Show a success. VIP Judge was VPD Chief Mana-han. Unfortunately, the show ended under a torrential downpour that left many very wet.

Happy New Year!—What a year

2020 was, but here we are in 2021!

We trust it will be a better year for

all of us, with elections over, and

COVID-19 somewhat under con-

trol with the vaccines available.

May we soon be back to some

sense of normalcy!

Thanks to all who have contributed

to the Driver’s Seat during 2020. I

look forward to your submissions

during 2021, so that our newsletter

continues to be full of information

and articles that are useful and en-

joyable to the readership.

Thanks to Dan Bremer for his lead-

ership as President of SGCCC .

Much of the success of our

monthly meetings and cruise-ins,

has been due to the leadership he

provided. Thanks, Dan!

Thanks to Joe for his leadership of

the committee that put on a great

Super Cruise-in and the Annual Fall

Car and Truck Show.

Thanks to Hardy & Fred for re-

cruiting many new members during

2020.

Thanks to Ed for his continued

work on the club cruiser, keeping

it in decent working order.

Welcome new 2nd Vice President,

Mike Dasher, to the leadership

team.

Thanks to Kyle Baker for the arti-

cle and pictures of his 1963 Chev-

rolet C10 pickup truck. Thanks to

Joe for many of the pictures in this

issue. (we will miss Kyle and Tif-

fany when they move to Texas)

Happy

Cruising! -

David Boyd
