Lagniappe is a local Chapter of the Louisiana Region Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA).  We meet in Houma, LA.  Lagniappe is an old French term meaning "something extra."  We work hard to provide "a little something extra" for our member, visitors and guests of our club activities.

National Events

Your membership with AACA permits you to participate in first class regional and national events.  These are primarily divided into Tours and Meets.  Tours are most appealing to those who like to drive their cars and visit the designated area, touring museums, natural wonders, and other attractions.  Socialization is emphasized and usually only casual awards are given.  Meets, on the other hand, are very competitive.  Cars are judged by class based on national point standards.  First, second and third place awards are given.  A First Junior award permits competing in the Senior Division.  A First Senior Award permits competing in the Grand National Competition where the finest cars in the country are displayed.
