I was going to say that the dealer down in Chandler off of I-10 was active in customer relations, but when my Lady moved out of that in about 1999 and up here with me on the North West side I pretty much lost track of any activity that was taking place. When was the last big meet?

The last meet as Saturn of Tempe was with the SKY/SOLSTICE club in 2009.


Be sure to look at the pictures on page 1

I guess only time will tell if there well be enough interest in maintaining a Saturn hobby as the cars pass the used and worn out stage to the collectable level. I saw a late 30's Packard on the road last week. I see one everynow and then and I know some one restoring a middle 50's 2dr sedan but I have not seen a 57 or newer one on the road in so long that I can't remember the last one.
Checkers all but gone and it is hard to find even a picture of a late 40's one on the internet. Pretty much the same for DeSoto, Studebaker although a few show up every so often, an odd Edsel every now and then, a 50's Nash or Hudson, I've actually seen more Kaisers and they stopped in 54 and I know some one building a *****'s Aero Gasser.
I have to have two short pieces of exhaut pipe to be fabricated with a 45 degree angle bend in it and I can install my Mercury Marine engine in my Hornet, but I really have not seen but one Hornet on the road in close to 4 years and I own the only 2 Spirits I know of in the area that are streetable at the moment.
Although I saw a clean S series Saturn sedan with the moon roof open so I know some of those are still around that were garaged and just showing up in good shape. But although my Moon roof is in good shape I have to repaint it again to get it clean enough to show.

I need something like that where I am. A place where we can all just kick back and enjoy the company of other Saturn owners.

I think thats part of the problem too. the cars have been given beater status. Why care for a beater?

Honestly it would be a nice change of pace to meet other saturn owners though.
