Missoula Hellgate Auto Club
Probably the oldest car club in Missoula, we provided one of the founding fathers for MPCAC, Wes Stranahan. We value the social aspects of our club as much as the old cars.
We meet on the 3rd Monday of each month (except June/July) at 6:00 pm. We meet at the American Legion Hall at 825 Ronan Street. Our monthly meeting is preceded by a pot luck dinner.
During the summer months we attempt to have as many tour s as we can squeeze in, usually one a month. We welcome old cars and motor cycles and even modern cars.
