There is a story told of a rodder with a 36 Ford that had a beautiful peach paint job who repainted it in “hotrod primer” (dark gray) to join. They met at Rose Auto Parts store at Rising Sun and Wyoming St. in Germantown from 1949 to 1954. The club was run informally in the beginning with the President often acting as secretary and treasurer.
