Title: AACA Convention 2024
Post by: roadking77 on February 18, 2024, 09:40:11 AM
The Antique Automobile Club of America held its annual convention in N. Va this year. Just less than a 2 hour drive for me so I just went down for the day last saturday. The event runs a few days and it culminates with a banquet at which major awards are given out for past participation. During the day they have quite a few seminars on a wide variety of topics. My primary goal was to attend the judging school again. One school is required per year. It is NOT a car show but an event. They had a large room set up with vendors and the local chapter brought in a few cars for display. They were immaculate.

Great looking cars, looks like a nice event. I would love to have something 100% original and not modified. I think the trend is modified restorations that look original but have modern mechanicals underneath. But I like the idiosyncrasies and quirks bringing me back to the way they started out.

I think I heard they had around 300 people in attendance.
The red Buick is from N Va area. The previous owner in the 1970's drove it literally all over the eastern half of the US in touring rallies. No trailer queen here! The current owner has also put many thousands of miles of road use on the car.
