SAN ANGELO, TX – The 22 nd Southern Spring Tour of the Vintage Chevrolet Club of America (VCCA) is coming to San Angelo to April 1-5.
The Southern Spring Tours is a members-only event offering owner-drivers of vintage Chevrolets with a chance to meet and tour new locations in their restored automobiles. Each year, a different city in the southern United States is selected as the location for the next Southern Spring Tour.
Local VCCA member, Anne Bramble, and her brother, Kevin Olmstead of Stillwater, OK, will host the event in San Angelo. The Historic Pearl on the Concho hotel will serve as tour headquarters.
Tour participants will log more than 350 miles on Concho Valley roads, enjoy an ice cream social at The Latest Scoop, and a hotdog cookout at El Paseo de Santa Angela. Thanks to the planning assistance of Marshall and Diane Huling, who hosted the 2012 T-Party Tour, which drew 84 Model T’s to San Angelo, the group will experience tours at Historic Fort Concho, Aermotor Windmill Company, Miss Hattie’s Bordello Museum, and shops on and near San Angelo’s Historic Block One on Concho Avenue. They will not limit their time to San Angelo. Additional tours include Fort Chadbourne, Mount Carmel Hermitage, Ballinger’s Historic Carnegie Library, Paint Rock pictographs, and drives through Veribest, Bronte, Robert Lee, Water Valley, Carlsbad, Miles and Rowena.
Area residents are invited to All-American Chevrolet from 4:30-6:30pm on Tuesday, April 2 where more than 40 vintage Chevrolets will be on display.
Texas is home to three VCCA regions. The Lone Star Region in the D/FW metroplex, the Bluebonnet Region in and around San Antonio, and the San Jacinto Region in Houston and the surrounding area. Bramble hopes the Southern Spring Tour will generate enough interest in this area that a West Texas VCCA region might be formed.
