Hell's Belles Car Club was founded by longtime friends and hell-raisers Mary Mack and Andrea "Crafty" DeHart in the fall of 2000. Both gals were truly in love with their classic cars and were into car culture. They talked about what good times it would be to find some cool, fun classic car-owning girls and make a car club just for the ladies. The founders reckoned it was pretty special for a gal to own a classic car, but a testament of true love to own a sled in San Francisco. So, they decided that Hell's Belles was for gals that lived in San Francisco, who owned a '65 or older American-made car (or two). Not a car club of two for long, within a few months of looking for "girls as sweet as their rides" the founders rounded up other gals through acquaintances, throwing Hell's Belles business cards on hot rods and stalking girls with nice cars in the neighborhood. We've grown to six Belles, sharing the same dedication, grit and hellfire as the founding members. In November 2000 Hell's Belles Car Club had their first club meeting And began what is now San Francisco's only all-female classic car club. The members of Hell's Belles are as unique as the cars they drive:
Sandy Sue with her burnouts,
Apryl who has owned her car since she was 13,
Stacie who bowled us over with her skills in the lanes
Jamie who was raised by old cars

In our first year, Hell's Belles Car Club hit the Saint's Gutter Ball, the Stranger's Car Club BBQ, Viva Las Vegas, Billet Proof, Jimmy's Old Car Picnic, Hot Dogs and Hot Rods, and our favorite Watsonville Speedway. We've met some great people and checked out some wild hot rods. Last November Hell's Belles celebrated our one year anniversary with a party at the San Francisco Motorcycle Club called the Hell Raiser. The Hell Raiser kicked off our Doll Drive, and we collected over 150 dolls and action figures for a San Francisco charity. We've had a lot of support from car clubs like Saints Car Club California,The Last Originals Car Club, The Jalopies, The Dames, The Rumblers SF and The Strangers. Their encouragement and support was in the true spirit of the car culture. Look for the red jackets and friendly gals at a car show, racetrack or rally near you.
