I have always called her my black beauty.

Love your car.  Unfortunately I still work two jobs and it is hard for me to get away.  So I put my all in our club, and enjoy what I can for now.This is my baby.  My Mom bought it brand new in 1973.  I lost her in 1990 and it took me a few years to talk my step-father into letting me have it.  She always entered it in all the car shows that she could.  I was 14 years old when she got it.  Have loved it for a very long time. From all the articles I have read my car is 1 of 12.  It has the 401 motor and the Pierre Cardin interior.  Thanks again!!

Our website is being updated now.  We have had the same President for eight years, and she decieded to step down, and that is when I became President of the club.  I was the Secretary for four years.  Visit our website we are always updating.  www.aikenhorsepower.com

I have Little Red entered into the World of Wheels in Atlanta this month.  Do you think you are able to make it down to see the show?

100 us a good number.  If they join up as part of the fan club, we can give them another way to stay connected through posting comments and photos. Several Clubs use us to post progress photos of current vehicle projects, as well.  Please put a link to here from your website and post your cruise-ins, as well!  Let me know how I can help more.  Mike

Aiken Horsepower is a non-profit car club that raises money for a local charity.  We have been supporting the Cumbee Center to Assist Abused Persons since 2003.  We are just a fun group of people who like to get together.  We have monthly cruise-ins, one show a year, which is April 2 this year.  We love people and cars.  We have around 100 members and hopefully will get bigger.  Thanks for the interest in the club.

A Bite of History: by Mike Thies

1958 Porsche 356 Speedster

The 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster marks the swan song of one of Porsche’s most iconic and minimalist models. Originally introduced in 1954 at the urging of U.S. importer Max Hoffman, the Speedster was designed to be a low cost, lightweight, stripped-down entry sports car that could double as a weekend racer, especially for the California sports car scene. With its low windshield,…

1948 Rover P3 Saloon

The 1948 Rover P3 Saloon marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of British motoring. Introduced in the immediate aftermath of World War II, the P3 was a bridge between prewar craftsmanship and the modern engineering ethos that would come to define Rover’s future.

With car shows, cruise-ins, tours, parades and varied events across the country, car clubs continue to bring enthusiasts together for camaraderie, preservation, and celebration of automotive history.
