Chester Counts Award |
Tommy Jordan Award |
Chester was a charter member of our club. He willingly gave of his time and talent over the years whenever the need arose. Chester could always be found helping behind the scenes to make any event successful, whether it was a cookout, car show, parade, or even guarding a car display all night. He was always willing to jump in and help without being asked or assigned a task. Chester was a true volunteer but not an officer or committee member.
Chester enjoyed all automobiles, but he especially enjoyed the hobby of collecting and preserving antiques autos. He was active in the AACA at the regional and national levels as well as the local level. His character and personality always added to every event that he attended. Chester’s zeal for life and love of cars will be greatly missed. We hope this award brings honor and warm reflections of his contributions to the Cape Fear Chapter of the AACA. A plaque is presented annually at the Cape Fear Chapter spring car show to a member that is in good standing and has given of their talent, resources and spirit throughout the year to help promote the chapter, the AACA, and the hobby of antique cars at the local, regional, and national levels of involvement.

The Tommy Jordan Memorial Award is presented annually to the club member who has shown the greatest participation in antique automobile activities during the past year. The award is based on a points system. The points are earned by attending a variety of club activities. These include monthly meetings, tours, displays, shows, parades, and club socials. At years end, the points are tallied and the award is presented to the recipient at the annual Christmas Party.
Tommy Jordan was one of our charter members who played a major part in organizing our Cape Fear Chapter. He was very active in the antique automobile hobby and was well known throughout the NC Region and AACA. We feel that this annual award will help carry on the good work he began.
