Club T-shirts
We now have a limited number of club T-shirts to offer for sale. These are the same shirts as we purchased for the Corvair Cruise-in that arrived too late to hand out at the show. Everyone who earned a shirt at the show has received theirs and we only have XL and XXL sizes remaining to sell. The shirts are $10 each plus a flat $5 fee for mailing any quantity. USA address via USPS only please. You can pay online (I will send you the link at payment time) or you can pay by check or cash and pick them up at my house or any upcoming events.
My wife and I will be handling the sales so please contact me and I’ll provide payment info once I have reserved your order. We have several dozen XL’s remaining and about 10 of the XXL. All shirts are sport grey color, unisex style with the club logo in the pocket area as seen below.

Cactus Corvair Club History
While a salesman at Rudolph Chevrolet in Phoenix Arizona, Lou Grubb decided there were possibilities in an inexpensive, economy car produced by the Chevrolet Division, the Corvair. He sent letters to recent Corvair buyers and devotees alike inviting them to a social dedicated to appreciation of the car. With a promising response, discussion turned to organizing a new sports car club. With hasty planning, the first event was an economy run put together by a group of rookie enthusiasts who later became the first members of Cactus Corvair Club after its Constitution was signed in October 2, 1963.
We are the oldest, continually active, Corvair club in the world!
As part of the Phoenix Chapter of CORSA (Corvair Society of America) we hosted our first regional mini-convention in April of 1976. People from all over the country came, with an estimated 90 cars and 150 people attendees. The event included autocross, a concours show, driving tour of the Valley of the Sun, and a “Fiesta banquet. The Cactus Corvair Club hosts an annual All-Corvair show in early October, participates in classic car shows throughout the year (usually benefiting local charities), and supports classic car events, museums, and organizations dedicated to the preservation and public education of our automotive history. We are a community of car enthusiasts; all our events are family oriented and we are excited to meet you.
With the closing of Lou Grubb Chevrolet / Power Chevrolet dealerships, the Cactus Corvair Club moved to Thorobred Chevrolet in Chandler.
In 2016, the Thorobred Chevrolet dealership was sold to Earnhardt Auto Centers and is now Earnhardt Chevrolet Chandler. We hope for many more years of working with the new owners to promote the Corvair legacy as well as all the new Chevrolet offerings.
