It was 1952 when a group of rowdy teenagers fond of street racing their hot rods decided that they should alter their ways. On August 5, 1953 the Ty-Rods Car Club was formed in Cochituate, MA. before relocating to Concord, MA. Today, after 74 years of history, we continue thriving as a passionate car club dedicated to hot rods, customs, and racing – celebrating the thrill of automotive culture.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
July 14, 2026
After much thoughtful discussion, the members of the Ty-Rods have made the difficult decision to bring the Old Timers’ Reunion to a close after an incredible 50 plus year run.
This was not a decision made lightly. For more than five decades, the Old Timers’ Reunion has brought together generations of hot rodders, custom car enthusiasts, families, and friends. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has attended, volunteered, sponsored, and supported the event over the years. Your enthusiasm and dedication helped make it a tradition that we will always be proud of.
While the Old Timers’ Reunion has come to an end, the Ty-Rods are not going anywhere. Our club remains active and committed to preserving and celebrating the hot rod lifestyle that has defined us since 1952.
As we look ahead, we are excited to celebrate the Ty-Rods’ 75th Anniversary in 2027, a remarkable milestone in our club’s history. We look forward to sharing more as we commemorate this special occasion.
Thank you for your continued support over the years. We are proud of what the Old Timers’ Reunion has meant to so many people, and we appreciate everyone who has been a part of its legacy.
