The Vintage Motor Car Club of America

From the President

- posted March 11, 2026

We’re only a couple months into the new year, and I’m already chomping at the bit to go touring. Sandy and I have been making sure we check out all of the tours available for this season, get signed up for the ones we can go to, and reserve rooms in each area we will be touring. I suggest everybody else do the same because they fill up quite quickly. If you haven’t been on a national or regional tour, I highly recommend it. As your new president, I plan to go to as many as possible. While there, I want to make myself available to anyone who would like to chat. Be sure to chase me down.

We are printing new national club brochures that will be available from your regional directors soon. Your chapter's officers will be able to get copies for you. I suggest obtaining a number of them to hand out to potential members who show an interest in your car. Our membership is dwindling because of aging and health reasons, so let’s try to get some younger people interested in joining. We need to show an appreciation of the later model cars that are eligible and engage prospective members in meaningful conversations. Handing a brochure to a non-member is a perfect way to get the conversation going. Also, keeping a Bulb Horn or two in your car to either show or share with someone is a terrific way to convey what a great club we have and that the Bulb Horn is just one of the many VMCCA member benefits.

Mark Hamlin,
VMCCA President-elect
