Built in the STL.
Driven Everywhere.
Club History
Founded in St. Louis, Missouri, our club was built by a group of automotive enthusiasts who shared a passion for cars, community, and the culture that brings people together. What started as a few friends meeting up has grown into a welcoming club dedicated to building lasting friendships, supporting the local car scene, and representing St. Louis with pride. Today, we continue to bring together members from across the region through cruises, meets, charity events, and community gatherings. No matter what you drive, our goal remains the same: to create a respectful, family-friendly environment where everyone can share their passion for automobiles and help keep the St. Louis car community thriving.
The Beginning — St. Louis, MO
A small group of St. Louis car enthusiasts frustrated with exclusionary club culture decided to do something different. Six founding members held the first unofficial MCC meet in a St. Louis parking lot with 14 cars.
Going Official
MCC filed as an official club and launched Midwest Car Club. Our first official meet was born — our flagship monthly meet designed to be the most welcoming, organized meet in St. Louis.
Growing Through Adversity
Despite a challenging evets, MCC pivoted to virtual build showcases and drive-through everyday problems. But our Membership kept growing as car culture surged on our Instagram.
Find Our First Partner
One of the first major milestones for Midwest Car Club was partnering with The Bays O'Fallon. From day one, Jeremy believed in our vision and welcomed our community with open arms. What started as a partnership quickly grew into a genuine friendship, and we're grateful to have both Jeremy and The Bays O'Fallon as an important part of the Midwest Car Club family.
THE HUB Idea
The Hub was born from the shared vision of Midwest Car Club and The Bays O'Fallon to create more than just a place for cars—it was built to create a home for the automotive community. Whether you're stopping by to give your ride a fresh wash, showing off your latest build, or simply spending time with fellow enthusiasts, The Hub is where friendships grow and memories are made. Together, we wanted to build a place where everyone feels welcome, connected, and part of one big family united by a shared passion for cars.
Preparing for the Future
As we look toward the future, our goal is to continue growing Midwest Car Club by attending larger automotive events, hosting community gatherings, and showcasing our passion through our own club booth. Every event is an opportunity to connect with new enthusiasts, build lasting relationships, and share what Midwest Car Club is all about. We're excited to keep expanding our reach while staying true to the values that brought us here—community, respect, and a shared love for the automotive lifestyle.
Core Values
Six principles that define who we are and how we show up — at every event, in every interaction, with every member.
Respect
Respect for venues, for other members, for builds of every kind. No gatekeeping. No elitism. Every car and every person deserves the same treatment.
Community
We are more than a car club. We are friendships, memories, and a network of people who share a passion. Cars bring us together; community keeps us together.
Quality Members
We curate our membership deliberately. We want people who add to the culture, not detract from it. Quality over quantity — always.
Passion
Whether you're daily driving a stock Civic or running a built LS swap, what matters is that you love what you drive. Passion is the only requirement.
The Build
We celebrate the journey of building — the late nights, the setbacks, the breakthroughs. Every build tells a story and every story deserves to be heard.
Culture
Midwest streets, warehouse vibes, neon nights, golden hour meets. We don't just attend car culture — we create it, document it, and push it forward.
Membership Philosophy
We don't just accept applications — we build relationships. Membership is a two-way commitment. We give you a community; you give it your respect and your energy.
