The Shifters Auto Club history club started
in 1955 with about 16 guys. Their first
meetings were held at Motor Mart Auto Parts on Montcalm in Pontiac, Michigan. Some of their early activities
were reliability runs.
For these activites, members would help
motorist that were broke down on the road
and when repairs were made they would
give the motorist a card telling them they
were just helped by Shifters Auto Club.

The club joined Michigan Hot Rod Assocation 3 or 4 months after
the Shifters were formed .
By 1958, MHRA had
grown to 35 clubs.

In 1956-57, the MHRA started a
drag strip at New Baltimore, each
club was required to work 1 or
2 weekends a year at the strip .
Later the strip was sold as
membership and money slowed .
Today shifters auto club has
22 members with a cap on members
and a list of people who want to
join. Each member must have
a special interest or hot rod car to
join we hope you enjoy our page.
