SAN DIEGO AUTO MUSEUM UPDATE!

As of 3/31/25 we will no longer have a space at the SDAM! The Museum needs to “keep things fresh” and so the “Corvair Corner” is being re-configured to show some of the Museum’s own restored “Hot Rods” for the near future….with one exception… Since the article in the Corsa Comunique had already gone to press, it was too late to retract some of the article’s text that invited all Corvair Convention visitors t travel to San Diego to see our exhibit … So, we will be moving Bob Parr’s ’63 Spyder in for the week of the Convention (Tues. 5/20 ~ Tues. 5/27) for Conventioneers to visit.

(This is the first time the National Convention, which attracts 100's of Corvair owners, has been on the West Coast, let alone in So. California, since 2008! We hope that this will draw dozens to spend their Memorial Day Weekend down the coast and hopefully through the SDAM!).

The SDAM has been GREAT to work with over the last 10 months and we should feel honored to have been able to show off several of our Corvairs to the world at this venue.

Thank You to the SDAM staff & voluteers who made this a truly unique activity and to all of our members who helped out and to ll of you who loaned your cars for this event!

Don’t forget that every 4th Tuesday of the month the SDAM is still FREE to all SD County residents. This month’s free Tuesday is 5/27. Come on down, enjoy the less crowded time of year at Balboa Park and see some beautiful cars.

PAST ACTIVITIES IN APRIL

Saturday, April 12, the SDCC was represented at the Grand Opening, of Super Detail’s Grand Opening (formerly ‘Details in Progress’ the guys who did such a beautiful job on Kendra’s car!) by Paul, Al, Dave, Bill & Jim. It was a very nice event.

Owner, Prentice St. Clair, scheduled a Grand Opening of his new shop featuring several industry experts in the fields of interior, exterior, paint, glass, engine, etc. detailers who conducted info-demonstrations answering any/all questions about all phases of detailing.

This was all quite interesting & informative all focused on an array of detailing products & services that will make your Corvair SHINE!

A delicious complimentary lunch, was provided by Phil’s BBQ and Paul & I walked away with about $100 worth of detailing products as raffle prizes!!

Check them out at: Super Detail, Inc. | Auto Detailing Supply Store

Unfortunately, due to others’ schedules beyond our control, we had a scheduling conflict with an event scheduled by the Coyote Club on that same day, 4/1. Since many of our members are active in both clubs some of us made it to both events. This was a VERY worthwhile event at Bruce St Gean’s! The gang assisted Bruce in getting his 1959 Impala up & running…see the Coyote newsletter for more details.

Congrats. To the Coyotes who really helped Bruce out & enjoyed a nice lunch provided by the St. Geans!

Let me know your thoughts and ideas or if you have a recommendation for future “Activities”!
