Ramblin rebels hot rod club 40s-50s era
So my family has been clearing out my parents house since one is in assisted living and the other recently passed. We found 3 Rambling rebels club jackets in dads stuff. Any one else know of any former members of this club in Raleigh NC? This club would have been in the 40s or 50s not the current newer club by the same name.

Re: Ramblin rebels hot rod club 40s-50s era
Have you asked this question to the new club? I’ve heard of clubs “reviving” a club name with permission from past members. Do you have any pics of the logos?......Good luck with your search.....Mark

Re: Ramblin rebels hot rod club 40s-50s era
According to this history, the club my be on it's third start?
This year, the Ramblin Rebels celebrate 44 years of car lovin’ fun since it was officially established on November 29, 1972. The club had its early beginnings in 1957 when 6 guys, two of where Ted Hoffman and Dick Beech, both with an interest in street rodding, got together and formed a club. The original group eventually disbanded and it was not until 1972 that the club got its official start. In the early 1970’s, the club had 12 members. Jesse Burrows and Paul Smith, who joined the club back in the early 70’s, are still members today! The club colors are red and white and their logo depicts the state of North Carolina with a dot on the map for their home location of Raleigh! |

Re: Ramblin rebels hot rod club 40s-50s era
Very interesting Jseery. My dad did know Ted Hoffman. In fact, I remember a business named T-Hoff in Raleigh NC and they specialized in VWs from what I recall. The name Dick Beech sounds very familiar too.
Here is a pic of their logo on the back. My dad’s jacket had some NHRA lapel pins on it as well as his name on front. Last edited by drfromnc; 08-08-2021 at 09:08 PM. Reason: Add pic |

Be interesting to see if any of them or direct decedents are still around!
