CLUB HISTORY
In 1981, the founding members created a club under the auspices of
the Veteran & Vintage Chevrolet Club of Australia (WA Branch). The
club continued to grow and prosper and in 1985 members voted to form
their own club, the one you see today:
The CHEVROLET CLUB OF WA Inc
The club is open to anyone with an interest in the Chevrolet brand,
whether they own a Chevrolet or not, there is no prerequisite to own
one, although we find members soon do. All Chevrolets are welcome, all
models and all years and we support both Licensing schemes available
in Western Australia being Code 404 (Historic) and the newer C4C
(Concession for Classics) – see Club Licence page. The club owns,
through the kind bequest of our late member, Life Member Mr Tony
Hoffman, a 1922 Model 490 Chevrolet. We also have one member with a
1916 Chevrolet that we often see at least once a year, which is the
oldest registered Chev in WA.
The club is affiliated with all other Chevrolet Clubs throughout
Australia and other all make clubs. Membership grows at an average of
5% year on year and has a minimum of a monthly run (see the
“Events†page for upcoming events).
In 1988, in conjunction with the Holden Car Club of WA Inc, the
General Motors Owners Day (GMOD) was formed in WA; other States
already had successful GMOD's. It was decided at the inaugural meeting
that the event would be biannual and sponsor a single charity, one
that was not mainstream, not government funded but was to involve
children. The Association for the Advancement of Brain Injured
Children (AABIC) was selected and since that inaugural show in 1988,
GMOD has donated in excess of $26,000 to needy children. When AABIC
decided to close due to NDIS funding availability in 2023 the clubs
decided that the 2022 was the last show (17 shows all up with only
missing 2020 due to COVID)
