CAPAHA CAR CLUB PLANNING FOR MUSEUM

Dave Jackson of Cape Girardeau has been elected president of the Capaha Antique Car Club.

He said one of the main goals of the club for 2000 is to buy a building or build a structure to serve as a small antique car museum and meeting place. The club has established a building committee to pursue this goal.

The club has about 75 members and serves parts of four states: Southeast Missouri, southwest Illinois, northwest Tennessee and northeast Arkansas. It has been a gathering point for antique car enthusiasts since 1963.

Jackson is assistant store manager at Van Matre Buick in Cape Girardeau. He and his wife, Kathy, are the parents of two grown children. He is the owner of a pink 1958 "Big Buick Special." Previously, he owned a 1928 Model A Ford.

Helping Jackson lead the club during the coming year will be Bill Dunning as vice president. He is retired from Procter & Gamble.

Two brothers from Fredericktown round out the slate of new officers. Ken Chapman serves as treasurer. Steve Chapman is secretary for the coming year.

The Capaha Antique Car Club sponsors five or six car shows each year throughout the region. Members also participate in a number of parades.

The club meets the last Tuesday of the month at various locations. To learn more, call Jackson at 334-6000.
