For four years, Karl & Mary Wescott (Wescott's Auto Restyling) led the Northwest leg of the Americruise. From that experience, Mary had a spark of an idea… to explore the fabulous and diverse beauty that is uniquely Oregon. A 1280 mile loop that would take most participants no more than a day away from home. She asked if the Route 26 Cruisers was interested in running with her idea… and we jumped at the opportunity to organize and lead this great tour!

Join us in this passion… this madness… we call cars!
Barbara Hussey, Chairperson of Cruise Oregon 2001-2005

"Cruise Oregon" was born in 2001, and the participants have traveled throughout the states of Washington, California, into Idaho, and even Canada! We have had participants from 11 different states, and it continues to grow. The 2005 cruise had 165 classic cars participate with ice cream socials, events in the towns that we visited, and a week of good fun, friends, and cars! Cuurently the cruise is limited to 150 cars

The cruise is a one week event that covers up to 1200 miles, with a different route every year. Along with all the fun that we have, money is also raised for charities and community programs such as Make a Wish, Beat the Heat and Mount Hood Hospice.

2006: Donated $5,000 to fund a local wish for Make-A-Wish Foundation of Oregon

2007: Donated to $500 given to the Sandy VFW; $2658 donated to the Guide Dogs for the Blind

2008: $4178 donated to Mount Hood Hospice

2009: Donated $3123 to the Sandy Kiwanas

The tradition continues and we look forward to many more years of Cruise Oregon fun!

The Cruise Oregon tour is sponsored and run by the Route 26 Cruisers car club from Sandy, Oregon. All are welcome to come along!
