Welcome to the website of the Cape Fear Chapter of the North Carolina Region of the Antique Automobile Club of America! The Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) was founded in November 1935. Headquartered in Hershey, PA, it is the oldest and largest such club in the United States. The NC Region of the AACA is comprised of 13 Local Chapters. The Cape Fear Chapter was chartered in 1972. While ownership of an automobile is not a requirement for membership, many of our members own antique automobiles. Several of these local cars are Regional and National award winners.
Our Club’s monthly dinner meetings are held at various local restaurants on the 3rd Thursday of the month at 6:30 pm. Traditionally, our Club has an annual car show in early Spring, an Ice Cream Social in the summer, and a Christmas Party in December. Occasionally throughout the year, club members participate in local tours, enjoying a fun afternoon of motoring to area destinations. We also participate in events hosted by other AACA Chapters and Holiday Parades. Email alerts and our monthly newsletter keep members apprised of upcoming events.
