Hi Ron
How many of the dash plaques and rally programs are FCCA related? I would be interested in any of these. Also, if you could email a photo or two of the collection, that would be helpful. My email is wilkmanracing@aol.com

Hello,
I recently acquired a Swallow Doretti that has a Four Cylinder Car Club of America sticker on the windshield. The car was owned by Earl Velander from 1955 until 2014 when he passed away. His daughter became the owner of the car but had no interest in keeping the car. It was disassembled in 1960 and is still in pieces, which is the way I got the car. Do you have any records of this car and/or its previous owner? Also, how does one become a member of your club?
Kind Regards,
Ted Watson

Hi Ted
The Four Cylinder Club went out of existence in the 1990s. Unfortunately, the club did not keep records on cars owned by members. The only readily accessible information on club members is the chapter to which they belonged. I could look into this if you know where Mr. Velander lived.

I was a member in the early 50’s. My Father and I participated in rallies in my 1952 MG-TD.
I have a TCNE brass plaque marked “Third Annual Grand Rally – August 25-26 1956.

Hi Andy. I’m afraid there are no stickers available at this time.
Dear Mr Wilkman
I am doing some research on the Austin A40 Devon for a story that I hope to write.
I understand that some 344 ooo were made. 77% exported worldwide.
Do you perhaps know how many came to America?
Also do you have a photo of any in America.
I live in South Africa.
Kind regards and keep safe

Hello, I would like to carry the tradition on by having a badge for my grill. Is this still possible? And how would I acquire one. Thank you
Is this club still active on any level?
I have a 1967 Porsche 912.
I would love to find one of those Palm Springs badges dated 3/23/1952. I was born on 3/19/1952.
I’m showing my car in Palm Springs mid June at the Porsche Parade. That badge on the car would be AWESOME!
I’m in Colorado. Any club activity within 500 miles I would do my best to be there.

I have someone who can make stickers if the club is interested. I want one for my car but I don’t want to cross any lines or Club rules.

In the 1960’s in the San Jose/Sunnyvale area of California, I belonged to an FCCA chapter named Le Vivo Machine’. I dated a young lady who belonged to a different chapter, The Tri-City Touring Club. I still have my FCCA grille badge.

The FCCA went out of business in the 1990s. The last chapter was the Glendsle Chapter.

The FCCA badges are no longer made. Badges show up on eBay from time to time. I’d suggest creating a saved search. There Isa demand for them and are often bid to $200 or more.

As the FCCA is no longer an active club, I’m not sure there would be a demand for stickers. I created some water slide decals, but have only had a couple of requests for them.
