The Vintage Motor Car Club of America

Treasurer's Report

- posted July 1, 2026

It is a great time of year for vintage car enthusiasts, and especially all of you driving and touring in your well-loved automobiles. The offering of tours on our calendar provides something for everyone, and I hope you are able to participate.

The 2nd Quarter Board of Governors will meet the week after I write this article, and the financials for January through April 2026 will be presented at that meeting. A few details for your information include the first four months of 2026 concluded with expenses greater than income in the amount of $(15,599), which is greater than April 30, 2025, by $3,107. Keep in mind, we have extra expenses due to the transition of the office of our secretary, with two months of double personnel costs, along with the office and equipment set-up costs. Another factor early in the calendar year is the lack of tours and tour income. The annual meeting did contribute income during this period, which is greatly appreciated. Membership dues income is greater than the same time period in 2025 by 16.3%, reflecting the dues increase. Additional expenses this year are the legal fees and costs related to keeping our trademarks current. This activity occurs every ten years, and occasionally some expense is expected at the five-year mark. VMCCA has trademark registrations for our official logo and the Revival AAA Glidden Tour®. Expenses related to The Bulb Horn and membership development are consistent with the same period in 2025.

Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road! Looking forward to seeing you on tour this year.

Happy Trails,

Elaine Johnsen
VMCCA Treasurer
