History

Since its formation in 1935, AACA has had one goal: the preservation and enjoyment of automotive history of all types. From National Meets and Tours to Regional events, AACA is here to bring enthusiasts together through exciting activities, online forums, friendship, and Antique Automobile, our award-winning 100-page magazine.

The club is America’s premiere resource for the collectible vehicle community. Since its inception there has been something about the sight, sound, and feel of the automobile that stirs the imagination and the desire to experience the freedom of the open road. Whether it’s the clatter of the single cylinder brass era car, or the heavy thumping of big block Detroit muscle cars that fuels the addiction, we are all kindred spirits. Vintage cars, trucks, buses, and motorcycles are our bond.

We’re glad you found us. Read about the club’s full history on our website which includes much more information on how you can be involved, and join the forums. We have something for everyone. Members don’t have to own a vehicle or know how to turn a wrench – you can be involved at any level you wish. Whether it’s joining our judging teams, doing research in our vast library, or taking the family through the excitement of a National Meet or Tour, the possibilities are endless.

So, spend time with us and others sharing your passion. Join up. It’s less than the price of a tank of gas and lasts all year. Then, check out our Regions and Chapters to find one near you.
