Walt G Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I have belonged to AACA since 1964-65 if nothing else the magazine is worth the price of the dues alone. Lots of reports and mention of events and who won what at car shows but also some top drawer history in articles and some period images. This is of all eras covered by AACA not just pre WWII era. Fair coverage for vehicles of all levels of interest. The attitude at the staff at AACA HQ is outstanding, caring and well exceed their responsibility to keep all happy. For decades I have been a officer, board member of many cars clubs, national and local, plus local and state historical societies attending events and activities in person , I am not the "arm chair member" type , but do try to contribute in some way. Helped run national tours and annual week long car events for decades. It is all good , get involved and meet the people. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) I've been messing with old cars since the 60s. Traveled all over for 23 years courtesy of the USN and enjoyed lots of on land assignments and travel in places like Scotland, Germany, Italy, Spain, Greece England and all over the US. Managed to find car clubs wherever we went, but AACA is and always has been Numero Uno!!! Did we mention the magazine is the best publication in the hobby? Join the fun. See you at Chantilly?

wilson24 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 The last time we were at the Udvar-Hazy Center, there were 2 tours separated by about 1 hour. One for war planes and the other for commercial. Both were worth doing. The 1st tour is quite crowded; the 2nd not so much so. Which tour they do first depends on which volunteer guide shows up 1st.

szimmerman Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 The tours we have scheduled for our group are the highlight tours. The guide will point out and talk about 5-6 of the really special/significant aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kfigel Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) Maybe I'm missing it, this being my first convention, but the only registration I see is for a hotel room. One has to register for the actual convention and its activities also, correct? Is this done when you first arrive at the convention? If so, are the costs for the different convention activities available beforehand? Thanks Edited December 31, 2023 by Kfigel (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Bond Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Its not necessary to register for individual seminars. Once you get the schedule just decide which of them you want to attend and show up at the right time and place. Your Convention ID is your "admission ticket" so be sure to wear it. You will receive that when you check in at the AACA registration counter. Looking forward to seeing you there. Terry 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I don't know where my original button that was produced by Dave Devine is now, so I created a replica. Does anyone remember the Friday lunches on the upper floor of the King George pub across the street? Still conniving to make it this year. First year was 1980. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed is very laid back and approachable... I'll be there! I'm fairly tall white beard and hair, but I'm a young 57! My name is Greg.

hursst Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 A random note, I'm a local to the convention location and if you're a BBQ fan, my favorite BBQ place in all Virginia is Willards BBQ. Home | willardsbbq (dcbbq.com) If you find yourself without lunch plans and you like BBQ, I would HIGHLY recommend it. Check out the menu. It is about 1 mile or so from the convention location (The Chantilly, Virginia location, as opposed to the Reston, Virginia location). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank DuVal Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I see they are also at the Reston Home Depot so at that location (not the recommended location) you might get to see the Tunnel Lady buying supplies. Local story. She posted building her tunnel on Tic Tock (whatever that is😃) and now even the Herndon building department is wondering how far she has gone, under neighbor's houses?🤣 🎄🍾☃️☃️❄️❄️🍯 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLDMRossi Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Just to make sure everyone's aware, our 2024 Convention continues to accelerate ahead. In fact, we've not only had to extend the Hotel Room block once...but twice! We've essentially taken over the entire, award-winning Marriott in Chantilly, Virginia. So if you still haven't completed and submitted your Registration, please do so...ASAP. We're like 30 days away from the event so it's imperative that you get your materials in! Looking forward to seeing you soon...Happy New Year. Steven Rossi Convention Chairman (248) 470-5788 SLDMRossi@aol.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 We have not stopped in making this year's convention the best ever! Two NEW seminars will be added shortly that should be spectacular. One is about the journey in a Model T from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans! The other is a visual tour of the Ford Piquette Museum and plant where many Ford models got their birth including the Model T. For you history buffs and aircraft buffs a retired Smithsonian staff member is going to have two very different seminars for us. Naturally, all the seminars are worth attending so pick your favorites and make good use of your time and make as many as you can. Yes, of course, our forum favorite Mr. Minnie will be joining us for presentations!
