Our Annual Picnic
President's Message
Hello to our website visitors. The San Diego Prowlers are in our 72nd year. It is March and San Diego is already seeing signs of Spring. The carshow and event calendar is filling up.
Ken and Swede have been to both Yuma and Imperial this month. We have designated the TrueLine show next Sunday as a club event and are looking forward to the Del Mar GoodGuys event April 5-7.
We are still the unchallenged "oldest hot rod club" continuously corrupting young men since 1947 so please dig in to our webpages and visit the hot rod club that has been there the whole time. See the men, cars and their hobby from post WWII to the present that was the laboratory of power and style that helped shape today’s automobile.
Thanks to Steve Waldron for another year of great T Shirts.
Many thanks to our famous racing and hot rodding artist Bob McCoy for our amazing 2013 T shirt art !

New Website!
Welcome to our new / updated website.
Swede Sommer - Active Prowler Member
Member # 131
Swede joined the Prowlers in 1972. His pride and joy was a 1930 Ford Sedan Delivery which he drove for many years. He had a "mis-hap" with it in 1973 and was a 'co-pilot' for a couple of years before finding his current car in 1975.
Swede was voted a Life Member in 2017.
Ah yes, his sweet 1932 Ford Sedan has been his ride since 1975. The paint today is the same as it was in 1975, black with gold pin-striping. Swede has continually upgraded the drive train. The engine, gearbox and rear end are all newly updated and this car really goes down the road.
Swede spent a lot of this time in the Navy so for a time, making cruises was a lttle challenging, but now that he is 'retired' he is busier than ever. You will see this car on many cruises and in many car shows today. But if you see in on the freeway, better look quick cause it really moves along. In fact, the Prowlers decided not to let Swede lead on too many cruises. Why? because many of us can't keep up with him. (Ha Ha)
