The Route 66 Car Club evolved from one of the first car clubs active in the area. This club had as its primary focus the Chevrolet Corvair and older classic cars. As the club’s interest shifted to include more variety, the Route 66 Car Club was established in 1983. In 1985, the Club was incorporated as a community-oriented non-profit Arizona corporation focused on providing services and good memories for its members and the community of Flagstaff through active participation and fund raising activities.
