The Joy Of Joining An Antique Auto Club

By David Wright


When it comes to cars, individuals often have vastly different taste. When it comes to collectors, most belong to an antique auto club. One such organization is related to antique cars. In this case, the organization host members which pay an annual fee then show cars at different events around the world.

Since the beginning, the auto club has primarily focused attention on collectors and antique vehicles. For, most members feel these cars provide a feel, sound and sight which can be found nowhere else. Whether feeling the thrill and thumping of a big block engine, clatter of cylinder brass or rumble of an antique motorcycle, driving one of these vintage vehicles is generally the only way to do so.

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 organization was first founded in 1935 with one goal, the enjoyment and preservation of history related to all types of automobiles. The club brings enthusiasts together for regional and national events through various activities, antique automobiles and building new friendships. In addition, the organization also provides an award winning full color magazine of over 100 pages.

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.

The organization has become stronger since that time, now hosting millions of members. As such, there is no doubt the auto club will be around for years to come. For, without the assistance and support of the organization, it would be difficult for enthusiasts to plan and attend the many National, regional and local events to which many have become accustomed.

The club website features a number of sections and pictures of different era antique vehicles which often has something for everyone. In fact, members do not have to own a classic or vintage car or know how to work on one to become involved. For, there are other ways to become involved such as judging, doing research or touring one of the National meet-ups or tours.

While most individuals think that these type of clubs are extremely expensive, nothing could be further from the truth when it comes to America's organization. For, the annual membership fee is often less than a tank of gas. As such, the amount of fun an individual can have as a member often far outweighs the cost of membership.
