Alamance Region of the
AACA
The antique automobile hobby is growing in Alamance County, North Carolina and a big part of this growth has come through the Alamance Region of the Antique Automobile Club of America. Our region has been in existence since December, 1964 starting with 17 charter members and presently totaling 83 members. We began as a Chapter of the NC Region of AACA and later became the Alamance Region. Our Alamance Region AACA was the first Chapter (then Region) nationally to own our own clubhouse and property outside of the National club located in Hershey, PA. We still have one original charter member actively involved in our club. (See pictures below: Richard Holmes on right (Judy passed away in 2024). Charter members Willie and Mabel Long, on left, passed away a few years ago). Richard Holmes owns a collection of Ford Model-A’s and Fords. Richard has served as President of our club four different times, as well as serving as President of the NC Region previously.

Active Charter Members
We have sponsored our own annual spring car show for more than 50 years, and co-sponsored a very successful Sentimental Tour with the NC Region in 2008. We have also sponsored fall car shows for the last 18 years that have raised approximately $100,000 to benefit the Hospice organization.
Most of our monthly meetings are covered dish style buffets held at our own clubhouse with program responsibilities drawn from our membership. We have some of the best cooks in the South, and the best food you ever put in your mouth at our meetings. Our membership is made up of multi-talented folks that not only know both sides of a wrench, but also have high-level social skills, and know how to have fun. Attached is a picture from one of our meetings that includes some of our officers and Board of Directors.
Our region is living proof that it can be genuinely fun trying to “keep the old ones rolling.”
Join us at our next meeting and / or car show event!
