The Tennessee Valley Region http://clubs.hemmings.com/clubsites/tnvalleyregionwpc/ of the Walter P. Chrysler Club and Robert & Laqueta Soule cordially invite all owners and/or enthusiasts of C-Body, Forward Look, and earlier, Plymouth, Dodge, DeSoto, Chrysler, and Imperial Chrysler products to attend the 2005 Chattanooga Chrysler & Imperial Meet in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the weekend of May 27 - 30, 2005.
Make your plans now to attend the 2005 Chattanooga Chrysler & Imperial Meet. We had an excellent meet last year in Chattanooga and we are looking forward to another fine meet this summer in Chattanooga. Tons of pictures with accompanying text of last year's Chattanooga Meet can be found at the Imperial Online Club at: http://www.imperialclub.com/Events/Chattanooga05/Index.htm Last year's meet was a blast and this years should be just as much fun, if not more. And remember -- this meet is open to *ALL* C Body Chrysler products! So roll up that car cover, polish that chrome, wax that paint, shine those tires, and come to the Summer Chattanooga Chrysler & Imperial Meet in Chattanooga, TN, on May 27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th.
*Registration: There is no registration fee for this meet. However, we request that you PLEASE REGISTER so we will know who is attending, what cars to expect, how many attendees will be at the Friday night dinner at the drive-in, and the Saturday cookout at the Soule's. There is a registration form that can be copied and pasted or printed at: http://home.highertech.net/~soule/ Just click the link about the 2005 Chattanooga Chrysler & Imperial Meet.
IMPORTANT!!! To attend, please send Robert Soule soule@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx the following information: your name (and names of any guests) attending the meet, the make and model of the car and/or cars you will be driving, and indicate if you will be attending the Friday and/or Saturday night dinners.
Friday - Early Evening, Gathering at the Soule's residence, placement of vehicles on the display field, and preliminary tour of Robert's garage and car collection.
Friday - Dinner, Those that have gathered at the Soule's by 7:00 PM will caravan to the Soddy-Daisy Sonic drive-in for a late dinner.
Saturday Morning - May 28th - Meet and drive, kick tires, share stories, tell lies, drool, etc., at the Soule home.
Saturday Lunch and Afternoon - Departing the Soule's at Noon we will caravan some 25 miles to Sweeney's Pit Bar-B-Q located on South Broad Street in downtown Chattanooga for lunch. After lunch we will tour the International Towing and Recovery Museum located in downtown Chattanooga just a couple of blocks South of Sweeney's. I have negotiated a discounted admission rate of $5 for each adult. For additional information about the Museum follow this link: http://www.internationaltowingmuseum.org/
Saturday Dinner, Hosted by the Tennessee Valley Region of the WPC Club - We will meet at the Soule residence for an informal hamburger/hot dog cookout at 7:00 PM EDT at the home of Robert and Laqueta Soule. After dinner, I expect we will show some Chrysler product films/videos, such as dealer ads, sales training stuff, and/or old television ads later in the evening. I am sure there will be more tire kicking and driving as this went on until past midnight last year. We will also have a bond fire burning all evening for those who might enjoy roasting marshmallows and enjoy a few cocktails around the warmth of a night fire. Please note this is a BYOB event.
Sunday - Will be a relaxing day allowing groups to explore the Scenic Chattanooga area. Enjoy fine motoring in your Imperial or Chrysler product to such attractions as Lookout Mountain, Rock City, Ruby Falls, the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum, the Chattanooga Choo Choo, the Chattanooga Aquarium, the Walnut Street Bridge, and many more! There is no shortage of things to do in Chattanooga. Here is a link to all kinds of Chattanooga attractions: http://www.chattanoogafun.com/ However, if you would rather just kick tires, drive cars, tell more lies... basically the same thing we are doing Saturday evening, then that is just fine with us and really more fun than the tourist traps anyway!
Accommodations - No hotel accommodations have been reserved specifically for this event. *** NEW HOTEL IN SODDY DAISY, Hometown Inn.*** Located in beautiful downtown Soddy-Daisy and just a few miles from the Soule's residence this Hotel would be the best place for attendees to stay! The Hotel is completely new and opened just a week ago. Call (423) 332-7755 for reservations. Additionally, the Holiday Inn or the Hampton Inn in Hixson (423) 877-3100 , Tennessee are both located on the north side of Chattanooga and are easily accessible from Interstate 75 and 24. Either would provide a good, centrally located base from which to operate. There are other accommodations readily available in the Hixson, TN, area. Please do consider making your hotel reservations as early as possible.
* Be sure to bring your lawn chairs to enjoy under the shade trees at the Soules' house!
