AZ....

I would suggest the National PT Cruiser and/or 300M clubs would be a good place to start for pointers. They both seem active outside the virtual world, the Cruiser club perhaps more so. And also would be marque sympathetic.

Perhaps even joining forces with one or the other as an affiliate. I know when I had my MG, the American MGB Association allowed all MG's in.

Just a thought. There are some tangible perks to car clubs. Good luck.

One thing one fellow did some time ago was to start a Lotus Esprit register. It wasn't a club so much as simply a registry to start tracking the cars, and each person that submitted info about his/her car was given a couple of attractive Lotus Esprit Register window stickers.

I don't know what ultimately became of the effort, or how many cars were finally registered, but it was neat to get the sticker and a few other perks.
