ALL - 1990 And Earlier Chrysler Built Products

Make your plans now to attend the our annual WPC Club Apple Meet & Tour. We had an excellent meet last time, and we are looking forward to another fine meet in Chattanooga for 2023. Tons of pictures with accompanying text of past Chattanooga Meets can be found at: http://chryslercrazy.com/mt06/  Information about the 2023 Meet can be found below.  The last meet was a blast and this year's should be just as much fun, if not more!

Come celebrate the past in all its glory with us.  It is sure to be an event like no other and one you will remember for a lifetime.  There will be plenty of fun, food, period music, and of course Antique Automobiles!

Chattanooga Antique Automobile Meet Accommodation Recommendations:

Accommodations - No hotel accommodations have been reserved specifically for this event.   *** The Only HOTEL IN SODDY DAISY is the Hometown Inn.***   Located in beautiful downtown Soddy-Daisy and just 5 miles from the Soules' residence, this hotel would be the closest place for attendees to stay.  Take a look at their web site at:  http://www.hometowninnsoddydaisy.com/  Honestly, the owners are not as friendly as they should be and I have heard some not so great things about the cleanliness of recent, so you should consider the hotels in Hixson.  Call (423) 332-7755 for reservations.  

Better alternatives:  Holiday Inn in Hixson (423) 877-6464 or the Hampton Inn also in Hixson (423) 877-3100, Tennessee, all three are located on the north side of Chattanooga and are easily accessible from Interstate 75, 24, and Hwy 153. All would provide a good, centrally located base from which to operate.  There are other accommodations readily available in the Hixson, TN, area.  Please do consider making your hotel reservations as early as possible.

All hotel reservations are the responsibility of each individual.

Directions/information -  For Directions to Chattanooga, Soddy-Daisy, TN, and Soules', send an email to rms@epbfi.com

Be sure to bring your lawn chairs for relaxation under the shade trees at the Soules' house!

Please read and abide by these few basic rules.

All Meet participants are requested to read and follow the rules of courtesy and agree to the terms of the liability statement at the bottom of this sheet. 

Please observe the following rules of etiquette while participating in the Meet:

1. These meets are NOT "judged shows" and derogatory comments about attendees' cars are prohibited. Some, if not many, of the Meet participants have driven cars that are either unrestored, original cars, cars in the process of being restored, or daily drivers. Derogatory comments can discourage current, as well as potential participants. We do not want to discourage anyone from attending these Meets or participating in this hobby! If you can't say something nice, just be quiet.

2. While you will not likely find many "do not touch" signs on the cars at these Meets, some basic rules of etiquette should be observed by all attendees: Don't sit or lean on cars. Watch your belt buckles (Belt buckles and riveted blue jeans are not conducive to paint jobs.)

Thank you for your cooperation and have an enjoyable Meet!
