The Westerly-Pawcatuck Region was chartered with the AACA in 1966 to help promote the enjoyment and preservation of antique automobiles in the Eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island area. Monthly meetings are held as noted throughout the year. Our meetings are open to all. Visitors and prospective members are encouraged to attend. Ownership of an automobile is NOT REQUIRED, although membership in the national organization (Antique Automobile Club of America) is a requirement for membership in the Region.

Club Activities Never Slow Down!
Members own both domestic and foreign makes representing more than 80 years of the automobile in America. We attend cruise nights, car shows, parades and other automobile-related activities. Annually we schedule several weekend trips to out of state shows in New England and New York and we spend a full week at Hershey, PA every fall. Meetings feature several speakers each year and technical help is always available to members through our Gas Lighters Program. Tom Laferriere at Oct. 30 MeetingTom Laferriere, a dealer in quality classic cars, made a great presentation to members at our October meeting. Laferriere Classic Cars , located in nearby Smithfield, RI has been in operation since the late 1990's. Tom explained how he got into the business and discussed the benefits of using a professional to buy or sell a car. We heard some great stories and had many questions answered. Tom even invited us to hold a meeting within his large garage while surrounded by classic cars! It was an enjoyable night with Tom and his entire family who accompanied him.
