So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Exploring The Antique Auto Club Of America

By David Wright


Individuals often have different tastes when it comes to the year, model and style of an automobile. In some cases, people love to collect antique, classic and vintage cars. As a result, the antique auto club of America was created in 1935. After which, while having been successful up until World War II, the organization saw a brief struggle during the war, then bounced back rather quickly.

Since the beginning, the club has primarily focused on antique car collectors and associated vehicles. For, the members believe that there is just something about the feel, sound and sight of antique automobiles which stirs the imagination, especially when desiring to traverse the open road. Whether the heavy thumping of a big block engine or clatter of single cylinder brass, there is just something that draws collectors to these cars. Although, vintage motorcycles, buses and trucks are all part of this massive organization based in America.

Everyone has a beginning and if car enthusiasts are asked how one got started, the answers are often similar. In most cases, it is just something about old cars which attracts and captures the interest of individuals whom hold onto and grasp the interest over the course of a lifetime. Of course, enthusiasm tends to change over time based on distractions, other interests, work, space cash and spare time.

Whether due to the love of an old movie, an experience earlier in life or having known someone else with such a car, the reasons are actually plentiful just hard to pinpoint at times. Regardless, the club brings these individuals together at National and regional events where many build new friendships and relationships that will last a lifetime. Whereas, the organization also provides a full color 100 page magazine with pictures and descriptions of different antique, classic and vintage automobiles.

In the 1940s, the organization went through a difficult hardship with regards to the war. For, in the months before and after, the hobby required the same attention as that of the war. In fact, to paraphrase the president of the organization, the mutual enthusiasm shared by members of the club during the Spring of 1942 included a number of disturbances and was fraught with uncertainties.

Since that time, the organization has become stronger and better with millions of members. As such, individuals can rest assured that the club will be around well into the future. For, without the assistance of the organization in planning regional, national and local events, a number of car enthusiasts would be left without a map to one of the most enjoyable activities in life, the collecting of classic and vintage automobiles.

The organization's website features different sections with pictures of cars from different eras. It should be noted that an individual does not need to own an antique, classic or vintage car to become a member or involved with the organization. For, there are numerous ways in which individuals can be part of the club whether through judging car shows, researching cars or attending one of the meet-ups or tours as a spectator.

While most people think such clubs can be extremely expensive, this particular one often cost less than a tank of gas for membership. Once a member, check out the regions and chapters listings on the organization's website to find the nearest location. Then, become involved in whichever way feels right and enjoy the ride.
