2019 NC Transportation Museum Muscle Car Display Pictures

The NC Region of the AACA and the NC Transportation museum have created a display of vehicles of the AACA. The display theme for the first display of this kind is “Performance cars of the 60’s and 70’s -The Muscle Car Era.”  Ten members of the NC Region have provided their muscle cars for this inaugural event. Vehicles were chosen to represent the qualities of a muscle car of that era.  The vehicles on display are AACA original cars of high quality and unique equipment that are not often seen by the general public.

The display will run thru January and February of 2019. Tom Wright is the chairman for the project and has worked closely with Jack Harris and Kathryn Johnson (Le Anne) of the NC Transportation Museum to plan the display. This is an exciting opportunity for the NC Region of AACA to display membership information about our club at the display. Be sure to visit the museum and see the display.

2018 New River Chapter Meet November 10, 2018

November 10th New River Chapter hosted the last AACA chapter car show for the 2018 season. We had forty-three participants, not bad for us considering we had to change our date due to the Hurricane and it was a cold and blustery day. We are very grateful to all who brought their automotive treasures. On October 20th long time chapter member, WWII and Korean War Veteran, Fred Mezias passed away.  It is his 1959 Cadillac Eldorado, the “Pink Lady” that was honored on our dash plaque.

Here are pictures taken by Virgina Wright.

By Denny Oestreich

 The San-Lee Chapter held their successful car show on June 2, 2018 in downtown Sanford. They had to make some adjustments including moving the venue to accommodate local merchants and moving registration inside the remodeled Buggy factory now serving as the offices for the City of Sanford.  Both changes worked out well. They had 79 vehicles entered in their show with AACA classes and open classes included. Vehicle owners provided many interesting vehicles to look at and lot of spectators enjoyed talking looking at the cars and talking to the owners.  The weather cooperated with warm Lee County weather with no rain until after the show. San-Lee had many door prizes and awards for all participants. Thanks to the San-Lee Chapter, Bennie Pokemire, President and Anthony and Teresa Bright Co-Chairs for a well organized and enjoyable show.
