MMAC

MMAC Motorcity Modified Auto Club is the oldest hot rod and custom car club located in Detroit Michigan. At that time, membership was over one hundred.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF MMAC
Motor City Modified Auto Club was formed by a group of auto enthusiasts or "Hot Rodders" in 1948. In the early years they met at a restaurant on Fenkell called "The Cardinal Hut" named after the Cooley High School Mascot. In the late fifties and early sixties the club met in the basement of the Detroit Police Department 16th Precinct. A favorite activity after meeting was t

o go out to the Northwestern Highway which did not have a speed limit and run top end. McCulloch Blown Caddy and Olds powered rods usually won. Later in the sixties, meetings were held at the home of Frank Burrell and remained there until he passed away, in 1985. Presently, meetings are held at member's homes on a rotating basis. Past notable members include the Alexander Brothers Mike & Larry (custom car builders), Al Bergler the “Tin Man” (drag racer & builder), The Logghe Brothers Gene & Ron (funny car and dragster builders), Angelo Giampetroni (of Gratiot Auto Supply and Ford Motor Sports), the late Frank Burrell (Pioneer hot rodder and innovator) and Bob Larivee (show promoter). MMAC is currently involved in hosting an annual color cruise thru the thumb of Michigan every October and helping host the Detroit Autorama with the MHRA. The club presently has approximately forty members and always welcomes new prospective members, particularly younger enthusiasts who have the drive to carry on the tradition.

Our deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of our good friend Pete Toundas, who passed away this week. Our hearts and thoughts are with all who knew him—both for the impact he had on our industry and for the genuinely great man he was.

The indoor car show world gained so much from Pete’s knowledge, dedication, and decades of passion. We hope everyone who knew him carries forward that same love for the work, the community, and the craft.

He will be truly missed by our family, our friends, and this entire industry.
God Speed, my friend. 🙏 🕊️
