Exploring The Antique Auto Club Of America

By David Wright


Most individuals who drive do so in cars purchased from dealerships or purchased pre-owned from owners. While this is the case, there are others whom either own or hold an interest in an antique, classic or vintage automobiles. For, these individuals, joining an antique auto club can bring a lot of joy to life.

Since the beginning, the club has primarily focused on antique car collectors and associated vehicles. For, the members believe that there is just something about the feel, sound and sight of antique automobiles which stirs the imagination, especially when desiring to traverse the open road. Whether the heavy thumping of a big block engine or clatter of single cylinder brass, there is just something that draws collectors to these cars. Although, vintage motorcycles, buses and trucks are all part of this massive organization based in America.

Everyone has a beginning and if car enthusiasts are asked how one got started, the answers are often similar. In most cases, it is just something about old cars which attracts and captures the interest of individuals whom hold onto and grasp the interest over the course of a lifetime. Of course, enthusiasm tends to change over time based on distractions, other interests, work, space cash and spare time.

The mission of the organization is the preservation and enjoyment of history related to all types of automobiles. Whereas, the organization also works to bring enthusiasts together at a number of regional and national events each year. These events often include, meet-ups, shows and contests, most often at different types of festivals. In addition, the club produces a magazine which features over 100 pages with pictures, history and information on different models.

While the war was definitely a hardship on the hobby, collectors were steadfast and overcame numerous struggles during that time. In fact, the dedication to the car club during that time often matched the dedication given to the war. Whereas, while the club saw some difficulties, disturbances and uncertainties, it eventually returned and grew into the amazing organization it is today.

Since that time, the organization has become stronger and better with millions of members. As such, individuals can rest assured that the club will be around well into the future. For, without the assistance of the organization in planning regional, national and local events, a number of car enthusiasts would be left without a map to one of the most enjoyable activities in life, the collecting of classic and vintage automobiles.

The organization features a full website with a lot of information and something for everyone. In fact, members of the club do not have to own or know how to work on classic or vintage cars. For, there are other ways to become involved with the organization. Some of these opportunities include, attending tours and meet-ups, doing research and judging at contests.

While most people think such clubs can be extremely expensive, this particular one often cost less than a tank of gas for membership. Once a member, check out the regions and chapters listings on the organization's website to find the nearest location. Then, become involved in whichever way feels right and enjoy the ride.
