Our motto is "Make a child smile, one at a time"
Celebrating 32 years! was formed in 1994 and named after the Villa Capri restaurant located on Moosic Street in Scranton. This was an old hang-out for many of the club members in the late 50's and early 60's. If you had a hot car back then this is where you went to show off your machine. Next to the Villa Capri was an ACME market; this also was a gathering spot for performance buffs in the late 60's. Right up the road on Rt. 307 there is the famous Quarter Mile. This was the site that men and some ladies where separated from boys and girls. In the spring of 1993 the word went out to anyone who hung around at these sites in years past, or just an individual interested in forming a club, to meet at the Doughnut Shoppe on the top of Moosic Street at a prescribed date and time. The turnout was well beyond the expectation of the organizers. This was all it took and the rest is history. To date the Villa Capri Cruisers are over 75 members strong. The Villa Capri Cruisers Car Club hosts a variety of events for both promotion and charity. The car show on Father’s Day has become a very successful annual event. The club also develops a calendar of events which lists shows and cruise nights for other car clubs in the area. The club is designated by the IRS as a 501c(3) charitable organization.
