Treasure Coast Vintage Care Club

July 26, 2009

The Members of the Treasure Coast Vintage Car Club assembled on Sunday, July 26th at Tropical Ranch Botanical Gardens for a tour of the only Botanical Garden in Martin County. Board Members, Jay and Jo Ann Smith, arranged for the group to conduct their meeting midst the foliage and visit the garden as part of their monthly get together.

We, at TRBG, learned that a "Vintage" car must be 20 years old or older and be all original parts. As the pictures will attest, the cars did rival some of the garden plants with their bright colors and shiny surfaces. TRBG staff enjoyed and appreciated the care and maintenance it takes to keep these cars in such wonderful condition much as the Gardens take constant care and maintenance. All in all, it was a relaxing way to spend a sunny Sunday morning.

 
 

Owner, Jim Haines, welcomes the group.
