ANTIQUE AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF AMERICA

MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION

Dear Prospective member:

The Mississippi Valley Region of the Antique Automobile Club of America is a non-profit organization that has a history in the Quad Cities that spans over 40 years. It was founded in the late 1950’s by a group of antique car enthusiasts to:

1.      Promote interest and preservation of Antique Automobiles.

2.      Promote events and social gatherings for old car buffs.

3.      To learn more about the Antique Automobiles and to share this knowledge with others.

4.      To have fun.

One of the ways our goals are accomplished is through an affiliation with the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA), the oldest and largest Antique Automobile Club in the world with over 60,000 members throughout the world. The AACA provides us with a quality bi-monthly magazine, ANTIQUE AUTOMOBILE, with information about upcoming events, articles on cars both old and new(special interest) and tips on auto restoration and preservation. It has a research library available to club members and promotes the display and enjoyment of our cars. There are National Shows and Tours throughout the country that afford the opportunity to meet other car enthusiasts.

Another way we accomplish our club goals is through our own club functions. The MVR conducts monthly meetings during the winter and early spring months and has member old car events May through October. Our Annual Dinner Meeting is in November on the Friday before Thanksgiving. Our Board meetings are usually the first Wednesday of the month and any member is welcome. In addition, a monthly newsletter, THE AUTOGRAF, is published to provide our members with information about our club, old cars, activities of our region and national events and news.

Membership in the MVR does not require ownership of an old car, just an interest in the Antique Cars. There is an additional requirement because of our affiliation with the AACA.  Membership in the national organization of AACA is required. They carry liability insurance to cover the activities of our local region. This protects the membership for any litigation brought against it. However, all members are responsible for carrying their own auto insurance.

Included in this packet is some additional information on the AACA, membership applications for both organizations, a copy of THE AUTOGRAF, our club newsletter, and a copy of ANTIQUE AUTOMOBILE, the AACA Bi-monthly magazine. Our club dues are $18 per couple or $14 per single membership. AACA national dues are $30 for couples or single.

The Mississippi Valley Region would like to invite you to any of our meetings or events. For additional information on our meetings contact – Membership Chairman, Don Mitchell: Phone 309 523-2888.
