Route 54 Cruisers: Who we are and what we do

For 33 years, we have met monthly for dinner and to talk about our cars and car club business.

The 54 Cruisers currently have 56 members.

On May 9, 2026, we will host our 33rd annual 54 Cruisers Car Show.

Our members attend parades, cruise-ins and car shows in other towns. We visit local businesses with our cars to help bring the community together to shop, eat or enjoy our cars. On of our favorite visits each year is to our local nursing home. Many of the club members enjoy these group outings.

We raise money from dues, show sponsorship, show participants, t-shirt sales and other items.

We donate to various charities and promote El Dorado Springs and surrounding communities. We give financial help during personal disasters, fires and family emergencies, as well as yearly scholarships.

The following are some of the activities we have been involved with and the amount we have contributed as of Dec. 31, 2025:

Scholarships: $48,395; Christmas baskets, toy drive: $30,081 (El Dorado Springs, Stockton and Nevada); Fires/disasters and family emergencies: $26,430; Civic groups: $8,550 for a total of $113,456.
