Most notable vehicles have at least one car club of avid followers. Likewise there are a wide variety of organizations whose primary focus is automotive related projects and interests. Antique, vintage and classic car clubs are a great place to go for information about your vehicle and some of the bigger ones maintain libraries and research materials for those who want to assure their restoration project is technically accurate.
There are far too many clubs and associations to keep up with and we gave up trying to maintain an accurate events calendar because of the manpower demand. This category is therefore more for national and global umbrella groups and related directories than individual car clubs. If your group is focused on antique, vintage or classic cars we invite you to request a free listing.
The following organizations are instrumental in carrying on the brass, antique, vintage and classic car cultures. If you have a concern or comment about a listing please contact our webmaster@antiquecar.com.
