CAMPING!

Have not been there but visited the site often - too bad for all involved but no one was hurt according to the coverage.
Best wishes to them-sad to see.

I posted a few more photos in the Cadillac section of this Forum too.
-
I put some in General Discussion too - a great show!

A few photos from a great Cadillac show - couldn't count them all but I heard over 400 cars.
Including Betty White's Seville from the AACA Museum and an original Eldorado Brougham.

Just speaking for myself.
Joined AACA in 1987 (30 years ago.)
I am 47 now - so 17 when I joined - there was no youth program just really welcoming, pleasant people from my local Region.
Yes I grew up around cars, my grandparents owned a GM dealership in my town. (That being said if your grandparents had a pet store you may or may not become a dog person. Could have gone either way.)
I think the key to this whole issue is the really welcoming, pleasant people part. Rather than running down the next generation for not knowing about, or being able to afford, or not caring enough about what you might think is the 'right' kind of vintage car, listening and sharing go a very long way. I wrote an article for Antique Automobile about all my AACA Mentors a few years back.
Looking back - I have been fortunate to also join several single marque clubs also made up of really welcoming, pleasant people, for the most part at least. I've shown cars in DPC,HPOF, class judging and AGNM within AACA. I've also participated in AACA tours and been involved with the AACA Museum. Fortunately I've been able to serve as Region President of 2 different Regions and be an AACA Division Chairman.
Oddly with all this behind me I recently attended an AACA car show with my family and when I pulled in with my just 25 year old, pre-registered car the person at the gate asked if I was there for the soccer game! I almost turned around and went home! C'mon guys we need to be more thoughtful even welcoming or pleasant! That would make AACA more appealing!

I suspect Mr. Hughes had other Duesenbergs besides the glider launcher, probably many nice cars given his Hollywood presence and celebrity status not to mention his income level. Of course there are stories about his more ordinary cars too. If you look at his whole life not just the later years, he was quite a guy!

LOVE my Hemmings - have one sitting right here on my desk now. (It's calling me away from my work!)
Have an HMN magnet on one of our drawers along with a bunch of Rock Autos and Insurance Cos - makes visitors ask "Who's the car-guy?"

Gosh - lots going on there!

From my home state - and back in my day you had to show that you belonged to a car club, had insurance and there was a list of limitations including getting the car inspected still!
(No that's not my van in Terry's picture!)

I understand early Richmond Region AACA President Frantz Hershey was instrumental in Virginia's Antique tag provision coming to pass - possibly as early as the late 1950s. Maybe other RR members will jump in on this?
-
HOLY COW!
I am amazed at the number of these large collections that continue to come up for sale!

Maybe I'll bring my Tow Car?

Check the Model T Ford Club of America discussion forum. The Model T guys have lots of info on Chickasha and photos as well. It's always been a great model T event I understand. Wish I could get there sometime.
