Organization of the Year The Spirit of Stonewall Organization of the Year Award


The Organization of the Year Award acknowledges outstanding persons, organizations, events, or businesses that are identified as deserving of special recognition.


Great Autos of Yesteryear Great Autos of Yesteryear is the 2015 Pride Organization of


the Year and the largest LGBT car club on the West Coast with almost 1,000 members, owning more than 2,600 cars. The club is recognized for actively supporting the LGBT community through social and charitable activities and for their involvement in community events and of course the annual Pride Celebration. The club has raised thousands of dollars for worthy causes through their annual Palm Springs Casual Concours charity car show. At events throughout the year when you’ve seen dignitaries riding in stunning, chrome-laden convertibles, chances are those vintage vehicles have been provided by Great Autos members.


This diverse organization was formed in 1983 by veteran car


collectors Ted Davidson and Herb Rothman who, though active in other clubs, felt the gay community should have a club all its own. They envisioned a club that could serve as both a social gathering place and a means of bringing together gay and lesbian individuals who share a unique enthusiasm for the automobile and its preservation.


The Great Autos of Yesteryear family of LGBT and


straight members range in age from 18 to over 80, with most makes, models and years of cars represented in their ranks. The club hosts at least one event each month, such as road rallies, car collection tours, and car shows in and around Southern California. Also, Great Autos members participate in annual events including drive-in movie night, charity car shows, and the four- day extravaganza West Coast Meet.
