This is no surprise to me. Unlike the HCCA, the majority of car clubs do not promote touring in old cars. I used to drive my 1913 Buick about a thousand miles on several organized National & regional HCCA tours each year. But, like many collectors with multiple cars, each car gets driven less as their collection gets larger.
However, I believe most other car clubs tend to do car shows rather than touring. I have been asked many times to bring my authentically restored prewar cars to judged car shows. But I am not interested in trophies, and I think sitting all day at a car show is one of the most boring things to do with collector cars.
