mETs (metropolitans of East Texas)


This webpage is designed to introduce me to car enthusiasts in the Ark-La-Tex area and provide upcoming chances to get together.  See bottom of page for car show info.

This is just the preliminary stage for getting people acquainted with me and organizing an East Texas club.

My name is Gaines Evans and I have been involved with (hands-on) Metropolitans since 2001, but I have been an enthusiast since I was a kid.

The picture to the right is me in Lincoln, NE in 2006.  I have done most of the restoration myself, except the body and paint.

My Met is a '58 and I enjoy driving it to shows and around town on errands.  I've found that a Met  is a one-car car show.

 

           This is in Lincoln, Ne the same day as above.

Upcoming car show in Jefferson:  1st Annual Fire Brigade Benefit Car Show.  Saturday, Sept. 26th.  Registration begins at 8am, awards at 3pm.  More info (903) 742-9449 or (903) 665-9900 or email: roystoysandtrains@att.net  $20 pre-registration, $25 day of show.  Hope to see you here.

 

If you're interested in forming an Ark-La-Tex club, I would sure like to hear from you.  I can be reached at met58@att.net or at my work number (903) 665 - 7009.  My business hours are 10 - 7 Fri & Sat, 12 - 5 Sun, and 10 - 5 Mon.  No email, no problem:

309 N. Soda Jefferson, TX 75657

As you can see, I work weekends, so the club would meet for cruise-ins around the East Texas area.

No dues to collect, no national clubs to belong to, just a bunch of people that share the love of the old car and like to eat.
