About Us

Corvette Cruisers started out as a group of individuals who came together when an organization know as Corvette Club of America was formed in the late 80’s. Some of the members of CCA, who later became the founding members of Corvette Cruisers, at the time all owned and showed Corvettes of various years. These members formed close friendships and enjoyed getting together at car shows and meeting as well as social activities unrelated to their love of Corvettes. After a few years certain members of CCA became disenchanted with the organizers of that association and decided to form their own club. These individuals met and in October of 1992 formed the Corvette Cruisers. Shortly after choosing the name of the club we found that there was a club on the west coast of Florida with the same name. So “of Greater Daytona” was added to reduce any confusion between the two clubs. The club members continued to attend car shows and cruise ins, held monthly meeting, got together for week end excursions, had parties and other fun events. The club had great participation at events and won many club participation awards. The club decided to take on a cause for charitable contributions and elected to make donations to the Millard Conklin Center for the Multi-handicapped and blind.

In 1993 the Florida Street Rods Club asked us to take over a car show they had been holding in St. Augustine. We co-sponsored the show with them one year and sponsored the show ourselves for the following 5 years. The show grew and became too much for just our club to handle. The costs involved in hosting the show escalated and no longer made it profitable for us to continue.

The club has supported various charities such as the Millard Conklin Center with annual donations and has attended their charity auction during race weeks. We supported the St. Augustine School for the deaf and blind with profits from the St. Augustine Show. At Christmas we donated items to needy children. We have also supported many other needy groups over the past years.

The membership for the past few years has enjoyed getting together as a club at the Speedway Spring Show held in March. We have a “tent” that shelters us from the elements and we use it as our gathering point to socialize at the show. The club holds an annual miniature golf membership tournament in the spring. Once a month the club meets to drive somewhere for breakfast or brunch. We call this our “Breakfast on the Run”. It affords us the opportunity to meet again outside our business meeting to enjoy a drive in our Vettes and sit down together and have fun.

What it comes down to is a group of middle-aged individuals and couples who enjoy Corvettes, socializing and having fun. Club dues provide you with membership in the Corvette Cruisers of Greater Daytona. Dues support our charitable donations as well as a newsletter called “The Talepipe” and the club website. Dues also cover the cost of insurance and support some of our social events and other activities.
