I would like to know if a pass Whittier Blvd car club is still around.
The reason why I am contacting you is that I used to belong to this club(pass member)1975 – 1977/78. The name of the club was called DKK.
We used to cruise Whittier Blvd, and hang out at the Shakeys Pizza Place on Beach Blvd after our meetings. I remember your club and window sticker, we copied the same idea for our window emblem except for the German eagle. “The Little Killer Tanks”
I have garage my car since 1984, and have not brought it back out since. Also if they are not around, Do you take members from out of state? I will be in Southern Cal.in s few months to spend time with family and friends, and I am towing down my car. I attend the last Bug In, in 1983.
Sorry about the chatting. Just had great memories in my “67″
Thank for any information you can provide.

Thanks for contacting us, Ty! DKK is still around… here’s a link to check out. http://kampfwagen.blogspot.com/2011/11/vw-trends-magazines-vw-clubs-article.html
Cool that you kept your car… “survivors” from the old days are few and far between. As for joining DKP, our club constitution limits membership to those living in the immediate area only. Best to you!

Hey guys,
I have planned my holiday (parts shopping spree!!) to the US from Australia to coincide with the VW Classic in June and also want to check out your cruise night. I have read of the issues with parking around the area and am looking for info on how /where to park (i’ll have a rental) or if there is another better way to get there from Anaheim/Disneyland area.
sarge says:
Great planning job, Mark… see you soon!
DustinP says:
Great question Mark!! The main parking chaos involves the VW’s that want to park in Nick’s parking lot. For those of you driving VW’s, we will also be using the parking lot of Taqueria El Rancho which enters off Brookhurst, just south of Orangethorpe.
For all other cars, there is plenty of parking within walking distance of Nick’s.
As far as how to get there from Disneyland, Nicks is less than 5 miles from Disneyland. North on Harbor to Orangethorpe, then left on Orangethorpe.
For spectators, I’d suggest arriving around 4:00-5:00pm PST

Greetings from germany!
Nice website, nice cars!
Only the name of the club is wrong. It should be:
Der kleine (no r) Panzer (no s)
Otherwise it sounds like an idiot is spelling it!
But your reports are great!
Best wishes!
Tom
DustinP says:
Thanks Tom,
We are aware of that however, the founders thought that it sounded better with the added letters.
I must admit that I am glad they did!
Good Luck!
Dustin
Kenny says:
I have a 1975 Super Beetle and would love to be a member. Is there an issue with me living in Quincy, IL? Stay infested my friends.
DustinP says:
Thanks Kenny!
Unfortunately, you must live in the immediate area in order to become a member of the Club. Good luck!

Hey Jesper,
Thank you for asking! We really appreciate that!
While we are flattered that you would want to copy our logo, it is copyrighted and we have to defend it constantly.
Good luck with your club and remember above all, have fun and don’t take yourselves too seriously!

On normal cruise nights, prime time is 6:00-8:00pm. On event weekends, there’s no telling what will happen, the lot has been full as early as 3:00pm! Hope to see you there!
