CALIFORNIA  Legislative Update....  IMPORTANT ... AB 1740 is a bill which would delete the current 500 ‘kit-car’ limit on the number of specialty constructed vehicles that can be registered in the state of California on an annual basis. Our bill would delete this limit, and instead require the Department of Motor Vehicles to register any car that meets specified criteria. This issue is a particular interest of mine, having grown up around custom cars as the son of Dean Jeffries and being an automotive enthusiast to this day..  We would encourage you to write letters, send faxes and make phone calls to the Transportation Committee consultants

“Blast to the Past”  New Article on the Renegades  Car Club of Long Beach... sent in by Keen Entertainment

article Renegades Car Club

RENEGADES CAR CLUB ....of Long Beach was first organized in 1941, by five young men who desired something more from an automobile than mere transportation. It was the consensus of opinion of these five that a car club should be directed toward the improvement of the safety, beauty, and performance of their machines. As with any small group who has a different perspective, these boys were labeled by others, Renegades. These young knights literally tore a page from the Book of the King Arthur to form their Round Table of Renegade Knights..
