Your first choice for a classic & custom car club
New Braunfels, Texas
our club had a great beginning
The club was formed in late 1991 by a group of classic car owners. The name was chosen in an effort to gather in all of the area owners who shared an interest in classic cars. The purpose of the club was then, and is now, to encourage the preservation and the enjoyment of classic cars 20 years old and older.
The first annual Swap meet was held in April of 1992 with both the New Braunfels Rotary Club and the New Braunfels Area Car Club. The first Swap Meet had 356 swap meet spaces. It now has grown to well over 1000 spaces. The proceeds from the swap meet are used for scholarships for area students going into automobile related professions.
Come along and meet the people
Get to know the people in your area that love older cars and want to keep them on the road. These cars are as golden to our era as our music. It takes special knowledge to keep them running and in road worthy shape.
We are a mix of all ages. We are singles, we are married and we have families with three generations. Our events are geared for fun. You will find that the more you get involved, the more you will get out of the club.
Now, with all that being said, what completes our group? "We are joined by the beautiful automobile and
our passion for the open Road."
We are a servant leader club

Our Swap Meet is in April and is well known around the world. We have 1000+ vendor spaces at the Comal County Fair grounds. This function is an all- volunteer event held by the club members. The Swap Meet is open to the public and it provides a venue to meet many vendors of car parts and general collectibles. We provide a car corral that will show case cars for sale. It allows individuals to sell their ride at the Swap Meet.
We donate and volunteer our time to provide a window into our hobby so that all generations can appreciate the cars. We award scholarships to students interested in pursuing studies in the automobile industry. We appear at many of the area charity car shows in support of their events in both funding and to enrich their shows.
