Spring General Membership Meeting

Tam O’ Shanter Inn

Apr. 2007

With a Guest Speaker of the caliber of Dick Gulstrand and a beautiful sunny California day, what else would we do but drive our C1 to a Membership Meeting.  This time we met at the Tam O’ Shanter Inn on Los Feliz Blvd., east of Interstate 5.Tire Kickin’ began at 10:00 AM and Dick G. arrived shortly afterward in his ’65 Mid-Year (seen below).

Another Highlight of the day was the 7 times ’57 line-up of black cars.  Tech Session Coordinator Chip Werstein organized this line-up and collected the cars in a single area.  Pictures of the day and the cars are exhibited below.  An eighth car was expected but had fuel pump problems.  But there is something magical about 7 X 57 Black Corvettes.

The Tam O’ Shanter Inn traces its existence back to 1922 when it began on this property off Los Feliz Blvd.  This upscale facility did serve great food during our lunch time event and they had a great parking lot away from the traffic.
