Here’s an article from the BlueRibbon Coalitions’s sharetrails.org website. The California Association of 4 Wheel Drive Clubs (CA4WDC) is celebrating its 50th anniversery.
Here’s an excerpt:
“1959 was a momentous and pivotal year. Fidel Castro became prime minister of Cuba. Alaska was admitted to the Union as a U.S. state (with Hawaii soon to follow). Rock’N’Roll was heating up the airwaves, and the California Association of Jeep Clubs was formed in April in Tulare, California.
Steve Morris, a member of the Sacramento Jeepers, was elected as the first president of the Jeep Association, an organization that would retain that name until 1962, when it officially became the California Association of Four-Wheel Drive Clubs.”
