Automotive Engineers of Battle Creek
The Automotive Engineers was a car club from Battle Creek, Michigan. Lee Bailey was a member of the club in the early 1960s, and in 2019 he told Sondre Kvipt of Kustomrama that the club had a multi-stall garage with a meeting room. "We had a Henry J gasser as a club project. We were in competition with the other local club, the Cereal City Rod and Custom Club. Great local rivalry."[1]
Lee was one of the youngest members in the club and, and he lost track of it when he went into the Army in 1965. Most of the members were 15-20 years older than Lee, and he didn't have any further contact with them.[1]
