The Candy Store History
The Candy Store started with two automobile enthusiasts in 1978 with Bob Cole and the late Russell Head. Their vision was to have a safe environment to store their collection, and yet have a clubhouse to share the visual feast and camaraderie with other enthusiasts.
No In 1983, The Candy Store organized into a not-for-profit club, and the members and their cars relocated to our current facility. The elegant Spanish style building was designed in 1928 as a Packard Dealership for Earle C. Anthony.
It is now the perfect setting for The Candy Store whose motto is... ”Great Cars, Great People.” Our members enjoy Concours d'Elegance participation, touring in vintage rallies, vintage racing and collecting and displaying great cars.
