AACA – The Antique Automobile Club of America

The history of the motor car is a testament to something that more than a few people treat as something approximating a religion and a code to live by. The motor vehicle, which started as something just to get us from one place to another in relative comfort and good time, has evolved again and again over the years into something that constitutes a status symbol, an identifying mark (think about how you often know that someone is on their way before you see their face because you recognise their car, sometimes even by sound), and nothing less than a piece of American history (or Italian, French, German… you get the picture). It makes sense, then, that there should be societies set up to carry out the veneration of something as important and as classic as the American automobile.
The AACA itself says that its aim is to keep in the forefront of people’s minds the pioneering days of automobiles by bringing them to people’s interests and giving them the information and the opportunity to advance their understanding of these cars. It also seeks to promote sportsmanship among its members and allow a cultured, relaxed and above all civilized environment in which to discuss and appreciate automobiles. Incidentally, the AACA’s understanding of the term “automobile” is not just limited to cars, comprising any form of self-propelled vehicle whether that be a motorcycle or a truck. It is more to do with the design and engineering than any idea of “four wheels good, two wheels bad”, or any similarly divisive philosophy.
To further its advance towards its goals, the AACA holds regular meetings and events of a competitive nature or otherwise. This allows them to bring the experience of classic cars to people in the way that the people imagine them. Its headquarters, along with its museum, are located in Hershey, PA, and this is where they hold their annual meeting – an opportunity for members to meet and discuss the classic automobile in an environment devoted to its continued support. During the course of the annual meeting there are conferences, workshops and lectures regarding any aspect of classic cars that you could hope to name, whether it be restoring old classics or just a look at their history.
Founded in the mid 1930s, the AACA has gone from being an organisation for people interested in what at the time was a relatively new phenomenon – antique automobiles – to being an organisation that celebrates every aspect of automotive transport. It seems almost surreal to think that as long ago as 1935, people were gathering to celebrate the antiquity of something that has always seemed relatively modern to successive generations, but no car aficionado can deny that it is sometimes fun to look back in time at cars which influenced the industry of today, ones that fell by the wayside for one reason or another, and ones that are still being driven by many. If you have an interest in the classics, the AACA could well be for you.

Antique Automobile Club of America
The idea of forming the Antique Automobile Club of America was conceived way back in the 1930s by a few men who, after attending the fourth Antique Automobile Derby, thought it would be a good idea to get the participants of the previous year’s Derby to form a club. They got the names and addresses of the participants from the Derbies promoter, Mr Jack Dlugash, and proceeded to inform them of their intentions in a letter which was written on September 20, 1985.

Why Visit a Classic Car Museum?
We mostly think of cars as something highly modern with a resolute eye on the future and as a recent innovation – to a certain extent, at least – and we certainly do not tend to think of them as museum pieces. After all, we are still driving around in them and it does not appear that we are about to stop any time soon, no matter what the environmental cost of the practice.
