About The Creeper’s Car Club

Car Mechanics CreeperThe Creeper’s Car Club was established and incorporated in August of 1960 in Smyrna, Georgia. The five Charter Members, led by Scott Jackson, were a group of men who shared similar interests in show cars, drag racing and street rods. They came together with a dream of making a difference in their community. In the early sixties, the Creepers became deeply involved in car shows. They began by co-sponsored the Atlanta Car Show at Lakewood Fairgrounds and then in 1963 they sponsored the same show at the Atlanta Merchandise Mart. During the next ten years, Creeper’s Car Show was held at the North Georgia Fair Grounds.

Over the last twenty years, the club has donated over $355,000 dollars to a number of charities including the Calvary Children’s Home, Cobb County Association for Retarded Children, Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital, The American Cancer Society and Rhubarb Jones Leukemia March Across Georgia. Forty nine years later, two of the original five Charter members and numerous club members are actively involved in giving back to the community.
