President's Message
It is March 2022. The SD Prowlers are doing well. We are excited to see things open up in the hot rod world. We have cautiously ventured to the Grand Nationsl Roadster Show and most recently the Early Times Mid- Winter Run. I heard today that Escondido's Cruisn' Grand event has been permitted and will commence on April 1...Hooray!!
The Prowlers are preparing to host our 75th Anniversary Picnic on Saturday June 4 at El Monte Park. We will have a live band (The Ideas) playing favorite oldies. Big Dev will be there with his famous BBQ truck. We will have event t-shirts and free dash plaques for participant cars while they last.
This event will cost $3 per car (for the park)
As many businesses discovered adapting to pandemic restrictions there were new ways to do things. We had to give up meeting in our comfortable indoor restaurant and chose the outdoor setting at El Monte County Park in Lakeside, CA. Attesting to So Cal reputation for nice weather, we have not missed a meeting and at least half the members drive their hot rods. As of our meeting tomorrow March 3, 2022 we will have met 43 times outside with no rain.
We will keep you posted here. Until then, Keep the Shiney Side Up!

Complete Prowlers Member List (Historical)
This list of past and present San Diego Prowler Hot Rod Club members was compiled by researching club minutes from each and every meeting dating back to 1952. Payment records from the treasury reports, searching phone and real estate public records and the internet were used as research tools. There was a lot of communication with Charter members identifying people in early photos which number in the multiple hundreds. Although there are some gaps in the early years, this list is mostly complete. Many thanks to all the members, past and present who contributed their of time making phone calls and corresponding to complete this list. Without this help, Andy, our historian, could not have completed this roster. Over the past 66 years, there have been only 225 members. Sadly, many members on this roster are no longer with us. They may be gone, but they will never be forgotten.
Charter Members from 1947 are listed in bold and shown as (Charter).
