About the club

Auta PRL is the first club in the USA for fans of cars from communist era Poland (PRL).
We started in 2014 with a single Fiat 126p, the famous Maluch. Today the club has more than 20 cars, and every season brings new ones.
Our goal is to save and collect the cars of our childhood that are slowly disappearing from Polish roads. We meet up, drive to car shows together and every year we show our cars at the Polish Constitution Day Parade in Chicago.
