HISTORY
Formerly the Pre 50 American Auto Club, the All American Auto Club was founded by six young men at the end of 1965, who realised that the ‘preservation’ of classic American vehicles was being neglected by people with a passion for old cars.
In January 1966 a committee was formed and a club was born for enthusiasts of classic American vehicles.
Then as now, the club caters for the enthusiast and the restorer, not the exporter or the spectator and the club motto, ‘Dedicated to preservation and restoration’ remains the cornerstone of the club’s objectives.
AIMS
The club was founded to promote classic American vehicles and to assist owners by locating parts and offering advice
In 1977 the dating was amended to include vehicles up to 1959, and in 2010 as a new generation of enthusiasts have grown up, the classification was again changed to any vehicle over 25 years old. By 2022 this had changed to any American vehicle and the club name was altered to that effect..
The club is now open to anyone who either owns an American vehicle of any age or who supports the interests and objectives of the club but does not own an American vehicle.
ADMINISTRATION
A committee is elected every year and is answerable to the AGM, held each October. The members of the committee change frequently; ‘new blood’ is encouraged and all posts are of course honorary.
