Chicagoland Corvair Enthusiasts
About Us
From its introduction in 1960, the Corvair has enjoyed the distinction of being
an enthusiast's automobile. In 1968 a group began meeting regularly in a
Corvair owner's Oak Park living room. As the group grew, monthly meetings
were organized at a local bar. As the club reached a membership of 100 in
the mid 1970's the General Motors Training Center in Hinsdale became the venue
for years of fun and informative meetings. Today the club has grown to over
200 members.
Meetings are held at the VFW Hall in Villa Park, Illinois at 7:30 PM on
the third Wednesday of every month. Club business is presented and discussed
during the first half of the meetings. The latter portion of the meetings
are devoted to Corvair related entertainment ranging from movie nights to
tech sessions and an annual Corvair parts auction. Above all the meetings
are a chance for everyone to be with their fellow members and friends.
Our monthly newsletter, the Airhorn, is second to none. The tireless efforts
of the editor and the contributions of material and stories from members
make the Airhorn one of the finest newsletters produced by a collector car
club.
CCE is also active in organizing events throughout the course of the year. Spring
and Fall tours are a fun way to see many of the interesting sites in Illinois
and its adjoining states. The tours are well organized and are always enjoyed
by everyone who participates. There is nothing more fun than seeing the
reaction of the people along the way as a "Cor-a-van" of gleaming
Corvairs pass through their town.
The Chicagoland Corvair Enthusiasts is a diverse club that offers the opportunity
for members to enjoy their cars and the company of others who share their
love of Chevrolet Corvair cars and trucks.
Monthly Membership Meetings
CCE monthly membership meetings are held
on the third Wednesday of each month
at the Villa Park VFW, 39 E. St. Charles Rd., Villa Park, IL.
The VFW is conveniently located for members from Chicagoland, Wisconsin, and Indiana.
Meetings begin at 7:30 p.m., but the VFW opens at 7:00 p.m.,
so feel free to arrive a little early to socialize and enjoy a libation from the bar downstairs.
You also have the option of joining the meetings via Zoom, but you will have to provide your own libation.
Please refer to your Airhorn for details.
Our monthly newsletter, the Airhorn, is second to none. The tireless efforts
