New Jersey Region Antique Automobile Club of America
About Us
It is an honor to have you visit the New Jersey Region of the Antique Automobile Club of America’s website. The New Jersey Region AACA was founded in 1951, for the enjoyment and preservation of automobile history. The Region still has one of its founding members very active in the club today. The Region also has numerous families, spanning several generations involved in our activities as well. While browsing the website, you will learn about the club and its activities – as you browse the site be sure to read our NATIONAL AWARD WINNING newsletter “The Roadmap”.
NJ Region AACA and the members are proud, motivated and dedicated in attracting new members by sharing the passion, knowledge, and love for historic automobiles and history. Don’t fret though the club does not just talk about cars – We get out on the road and put history in motion. We welcome you to join us the first Thursday of the month!
