Welcome to the Midwest 356 Club

Celebrating the legacy of the 356, our club brings together enthusiasts from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Since 2004, we've fostered a community passionate about driving, restoring, and sharing the unique experience of the 356.

Our activities include:

Regular Breakfast Meetings: Enjoy lively discussions and camaraderie over breakfast.
Scenic Drives: Participate in events like our annual Spring Fling, which features a comfortable drive through the Chain of Lakes, culminating in a lunch gathering in Ingleside.
Technical Sessions: Engage in hands-on sessions to learn more about maintaining and restoring your 356.
Social Events: Join us for various gatherings that celebrate our shared passion.

Whether you're a longtime owner or new to the world of the 356 and other air-cooled varieties, our club offers a welcoming environment to connect, learn, and drive. Explore our Events at the tabs above to see what's coming up.

Join us and be part of the journey!

Spring Fling 2025 was our best yet — with a strong turnout of members and guests, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the drive and the breathtakingly scenic destination. Enjoying Jersey Mike’s subs followed by ice cream treats, all while catching up with friends in a beautiful lakeside setting, made for a wonderful time. This event keeps getting better every year. Special thanks to all involved with its organization and venue.
