By Denny Oestreich
AACA members from many states were anxious to hold the first AACA National show of 2021 in Concord, NC April 8-9. The event was the Southeastern Nationals at the Concord, NC Embassy Suites Hotel and Convention Center. The weather included a brief rain in the morning during the CJEs and again at the end of the show but, held clear during the judging. Most members stayed at the Embassy sites and enjoyed the hospitality and visiting with other AACA members and AACA Officials from around the country.

The Judges training was held in the Embassy Suites Convention Center where each person had a socially distanced separate table spaced about 8 feet apart. Dean Cain and Chuck Crane gave the judges training presentations. The training was repeat of past training presentations with a few updates for the year changes. This year the first Electric Vehicle, Honda EV, was eligible on the show field, although there were none on the show field. Some HPOF vehicles were mixed in with the judged vehicles to demonstrate the differences.

The total of 238 entries were from many parts of Eastern United States, however there were only 186 judged. The entries include Judged Vehicles, HPOF, and Driver Participation vehicles. This was the first show of the year with many anxious owners wanting to get their vehicles out for judging. There were vehicles we had seen before. There were also many newly restored vehicles with immaculate paint and detailed finishes to admire.
