THE
ANTIQUE AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF AMERICA
The Antique Automobile Club of America is an
international organization with members in all 50
states and in more than 50 countries of the world.
The AACA is incorporated under the provisions of the
Nonprofit Corporation Code of The Commonwealth of

Region meets the first Monday of each month at 2717

The aim of the AACA is the perpetuation of the
pioneer days of automobiling by furthering the
interest in and preserving of antique automobiles,
and the promotion of the sportsmanship and of good
fellowship among all AACA members. The AACA used the
term "automobile" in a comprehensive sense to
include all self-propelled vehicles intended for
passenger use (cars, race vehicles, trucks, fire
vehicles, motorcycles, powered bicycles, etc).
Similarly, the term includes various power sources,
such as gasoline, diesel steam and electric. The
AACA official publication Antique Automobile is
distributed bimonthly to all members.
The purpose of the AACA is to provide an
organization for members with a mutual interest in
the antique automobile hobby. For more information

HORSELESS CARRIAGE CLUB OF AMERICA
The Horseless Carriage Club is a non-profit
association of people dedicated to the enjoyment,
study and restoration of vehicles manufactured prior
to 1916. The club was organized in 1937 by a group
of enthusiasts in Los Angeles, California who
foresaw the need for an organization dedicated to
the preservation of automotive history.
The Horseless Carriage Club offers membership to
collectors, historians and anyone else with an
interest in vintage automobiles and their history.
You do not need to own a car made before 1916 in
order to belong. Many members derive their enjoyment
of the hobby by reading about early automobiles in
the club's bimonthly Horseless Carriage Gazette.

THE EARLY FORD V8 CLUB OF AMERICA
The Early Ford V8 Club was established in 1963 by
a group of individuals interested in the 1932-1953
Early V8 Fords, also known as the "Flathead Years".
Since that time, the Club has grown to more than
9000 members worldwide with over 155 Regional Groups
around the world. Ownership of an Early Ford V8 is
not a prerequisite of joining the club, only an
interest in these fabulous Fords is sufficient.
Membership brings the V8 Times, the club's full
color magazine published six times a year.
The San Diego Regional Group, chartered in 1969,
has a membership of over 145 families and meets the
third Wednesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. at the San
Diego Automotive Museum in Balboa Park. Visit the

Lincolns or Mercurys, then this is the club for you.

Early Ford V8 History". This includes all related
material produced by the Ford Motor Company during
this period up to and including cars and trucks. For
