The Vintage Motor Car Club of America

An update from the Publications VP, Ray Maxfield

- posted August 23, 2024

Arkansas, the Natural State, describes the beauty and geography of the state. This motto is absolutely true. The 42nd Chrome Glidden Tour participants enjoyed beautiful rain-free days while there was severe weather all around us. There were perfectly paced long driving days on smooth, unoccupied, in fact, sometimes lonely roads. Arkansas state parks provided us with an opportunity to observe the history of not only Arkansas, but of our nation. Amazing views from the porches of state park lodges were awe-inspiring and restful. Participating in a VMCCA tour encourages us to want to share our experiences with friends, family, and people engaged in the vintage car hobby.

The objective of our publications is to open a window to our readers and visitors. The three publications we use—Bulb Horn, our website, and Touring Chronicle—give us those opportunities. We want to share as much as possible the vision and mission of our club. For a number of our current members, those publications are the connection to our activities. Likewise, the website and Facebook allow non-members to learn about our club and the enjoyment of touring, hopefully engaging them in potential membership. The importance of keeping our publication vibrant, up-to-date, and exciting is key in presenting an enthusiastic presence. When VMCCA looks at itself in the mirror, what image do they see? I’m excited to see what our publications staff presents over the coming months to give us an informative, fun, and engaging face.
