About Our Club
Our History
The Tallahassee Region AACA (TRAACA) is a region of the national club, the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA). The AACA was established in 1935 and is dedicated to the history of the automobile as well as the preservation and/or restoration of vehicles 25 years old or older. This includes cars, trucks, commercial vehicles and motorcycles in original or restored condition.
The TRAACA was established in 1973. Activities include regular meetings, judged shows, displays, local tours, cruises, rallies and sponsorship and participation in regional and national antique auto related events.
If you wish to become a member of our regional club, then you are also required to become a member of the national club, AACA. There are many benefits associated with both memberships. Belonging to the Tallahassee Region gives you an award-winning monthly newsletter, the Tallahassee Chassee, and access to many people who share a love of antique and collector vehicles. You may just enjoy the fellowship or partake of the technical expertise available from our membership to help you in your enjoyment of the hobby. Ownership of an antique automobile is not a requirement for membership.
Each year the club participates in many activities, including tours (local and overnighters) and numerous car displays and shows. Our chili dinner and auction is held annually in November and a Christmas celebration occurs in December.
