The Club started as a result of a fund-raising project of The Kiwanis Club of Cable Beach, an Antique Car Show proposed by Don Aranha, Kiwanis President at the time, that was held at R. M. Bailey Park in August, 1986.

Kiwanians searched the island for owners of vintage vehicles and approximately 10-12 cars made up the show, which brought together Don Aranha, Charles Johnson (both Kiwanians) and Murray Forde (a Rotarian), not previously known to either of them. The three began talking about forming a vintage club.

On July 26, 1987 (almost a year later) the first meeting was held at the home of Don Aranha with the initial six members (pictured above); Richard Chestnut, Lenny Brozozog, Don Aranha, Alonzo Rolle, Murray Forde and Charles Johnson. At that initial meeting a number of things were decided.
