An Introduction to N.T.S.C.A.

Hello,

Well, if you’re reading this you’ve expressed an interest in our club. It’s not a complete account of what our club is or means to us, but a very basic generalization, in what we do, each year.

First and foremost, we are a family oriented club. Our members range in age from a few months old to antiques. Each and every person has an important part in making this club a great club. We enjoy getting together, not only for car shows and cruises, but as friends as well. Our cars are our hobbies and passions, but it’s the fellowship we enjoy most.

Our club is called the North Texas Street Cars Association. It was started in March 1987 by Bill Moore. If you would like to know more about the founding of the club, we still have some original members. Just ask Glen and Betty South. Our dues are $20.00 a year. Our President is Ron Coates and our Vice President is Cary Russell. The cars are as diversified as our members are. We have antiques, classic, original, modified, fast ones and slow ones. Some are so pretty and shiny you can see yourself in them and some are so worn out you are afraid to touch them, least something falls off. We even have members that don’t have a car, but are looking for that one special car that makes their heart flutter.

The second Saturday of each month from, April to October, (Except August) from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, we hold our car shows at El Chico’s Restaurant. The address is, 7621 Baker Boulevard, Richland Hills, TX 76118. El Chico’s phone number is (817) 589-0737. Entry fees are $10.00. After the shows we usually have something for dinner and hang out for a while.

Our club meetings are held the second Saturday, of every month, from 3:00 to 4:00P.M. At the El Chico Cafe It's located at 7621 Baker Blvd. & Loop 820 in Richland Hills. This is when we talk and vote about what events, car shows and cruises, we want to attend or sponsor, as well as club business.

Besides our regular shows we also attend different shows and events throughout the year. We also like to get together for cruises. We’ve been to Granbury, to the drive-in movies. We’ve been several times to a fifties diner by the Brazos river, for lunch and drove to Decatur for dinner. We’ve been in parades and attended numerous shows and special events, like the Independence Day Parade in White Hills Lake.

Our July show is called Christmas in July. Instead of an entry fee everyone is asked to bring a toy, for the Haltom City Fire & Police Association. In 2008 we raised over $480

In October for our spooks and goblins show we have a costume contest, for children and adults. We also have candy for the trick or treaters who visit us that night In January we have a Christmas party, with a potluck dinner, music, dancing and a gift exchange game.

Our newsletter is published monthly. It’s a hodge podge of what went on at the monthly meeting, past and coming events, jokes, shows, who did what, when and where, recipes, upcoming birthdays, anniversaries and feature car of the month.

Well, guess that’s about it as far as a generalization of what goes on in our club. About the only thing we really strive for is that everyone enjoy the time we spend together, whether it’s at a car show, cruising or just hanging out. So if you like to talk, eat and laugh, bring your smile and join us.
