Tin Lizzie. Beater. Rust Bucket.
All of these terms refer to that old, dilapidated, and neglected automobile sitting in someone’s yard leaving oil puddles on the ground. It may or may not run. The body is dented and rusty with holes filled with Bondo. The interior might be lacking in comfort and it wouldn’t be unusual to find some critter’s nest in the glovebox. These cars have history. They have stories to tell. Although their appearance may say otherwise, they have owners who love them.

Welcome to the Steamboat Jalopy Club; a celebration of rusty, automotive heaps.

We are a group of car owners who enjoy getting our hands greasy and fixing up old cars just enough to get them around town. You won’t find any fancy restoration projects here. Nor will you see any expensive, exotic imports. What you will find is a group of gearheads who like to drive and race their old cars.
