Shay Owners Club International
Serving Shay and Camelot Model A & Tbird Enthusiasts since 2001
​ It's cold here in Michigan -- well below zero -- and my Shay is sitting in a heavily-insulated, but unheated garage in Northern Michigan. I like to imagine that she's daydreaming of the coming summer, same as me.
The Shay Owners Club is putting the final touches on this summer's annual meeting and convention in Springfield, MO., an important and historic town and the official Birthplace of Route 66. We've got plans to make the best of that history in the few days we're there. The plan will be flexible, so that we can deal with whatever the weather is, and we'll provide you with the information you'll need to book a hotel, with a place to park your truck and trailer. In the meantime, save the dates: September 17 to 21; An arrival day, three convention days, and a departure day, a historic cruise route, and some museum days.
​
In the six months since the last Annual Meeting and Convention, The SOCI has added about two dozen new, paid members, including several Life Members (Thank You!). What we'd really like to see the Shay enthusiast community help us with, is the formation of local groups of Shay enthusiasts. Not everyone can make it to a given place on a given day. If you can help us out by being a local contact for new events, by informing us of events we might not know about, or by helping to resurrect past events that have gone dormant (Florida Shay Day, for example), we'll take any help we can get.
​
If you can help out, or if you're looking for more information, drop us a note at Shayoci.info@gmail.com.

From 1979 through 1982 the Shay Motor Corporation built approximately 5,000 Replicas of the 1929 Ford Model A Roadster and a number of 1955 T-Birds. From 1983 to 1986 Camelot Motors added a few of their own. This Web Site is dedicated to collect and share information about these unique cars.
