The history of the Susquehannock Region AACA goes back to the early post World War 2 era. As the interest in antique cars began spread over the land in those years, the Williamsport area was no exception. A small group of folks here in our locale began to get to know each other through their common interest – old iron. The group gravitated to the service station operated by Ferd Page who was also an old car  enthusiast. Ferd belonged to the Allegheny Mountain Region of the Antique Automobile Club of America. He even had an antique car! This, of course, attracted others with the desire to learn more about this new hobby.

In 1963 a local group of promoters decided to have an antique car show. They soon found out about the small group of interested folks centered on the Page Service Station and enlisted them to the idea of a show. Working together, they brought about the 1^st Annual Williamsport Automobile Show. The show has been held every year since then and after several changes in location, settled into the present location ‘on the Quad’ at Lycoming College in Williamsport. As a result of working on the show, interest increased in forming a local organization of old car fans.

             The first meeting took place in the back room of the Page Service Station on June 13, 1964. Founding members included George Domer, Ford Drake, Russell Houseknecht, James Hull, Perry Johnston, Seymour Knight, Francis Kyler, Ralph Kyler, Neil Lynn, James Lutcher, Ferd Page and Jay Richard. The first slate of officers included President Ferd Page, Vice Presidents Ralph and Francis Kyler, Secretary James Hull, Treasurer Ford Drake and Directors Neal Lynn and Jay Richards. A membership drive followed and about thirty people became charter members. The  club was on the road!

           A charter for the Susquehannock Chapter of the Allegheny Mountain Region of the Antique Automobile Club of America was granted on October 8, 1964.

After thirteen years of growth and progress, the decision was made to change the organization to an AACA Region. On February 3, 1977 a charter was granted to the Susquehannock Region AACA.

Over the years there have been many tours, shows and events held by our antique car club. Two of the highlights of our history have been the 1994 AACA National Spring Meet and the AACA Grand National Meet held in the year 2000.  We are now in the early stages of planning for a Special Vintage Tour for cars up to and including 1938. All committee chairs have been filled and hotels and events contacted and contracts signed. Our budget has been approved and most of the tour routes and stops are in place. There is still much to do but I am sure all of our people are going to work hard as in the past to make this tour a Very Special Vintage Tour.                                                                                                         

The most important part of our history, however, has been the friendship and fellowship of our members. We look back over the years and appreciate that a good time was had by all!
