Join the AACA
The Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) has recently established a
brand new display class which is very significant for Clenet Owners.
This has been designated Second Generation Collector Vehicles (SGCV).
Basically, this is a "non judging - display only" class for
factory built
neo-classic vehicles, over 25 years old, and will give us Clenet
owners well deserved exposure to a large group of automotive enthusiasts.
The AACA was formed from among a small group of men who attended
Antique Automobile Derbies that had began, in 1931,
in connection with the Automobile Show in Philadelphia, PA.
The aim of the AACA is the perpetuation of the pioneer days of automobiling by
furthering the interest in and preserving of antique automobiles,
and the promotion of sportsmanship and of good fellowship among all AACA members.
Currently there are about 65,000 members with more than 400 Regions and Chapters
worldwide.
Individual membership is only $35 per year ($21 of which is tax deductible). Register easily at
www.AACA.org. The
bimonthly magazine Antique Automobile, alone, is more than worth it.
Here
is the step by step procedure required to register. Note that
this only has to be done once for each vehicle
to obtain
the necessary AACA-SGCV Acceptance Card
to be used for any subsequent AACA Meets. The main reason for this process is to assure only genuine cars (not look-alike kits) are registered.
