2015 HCCA Convention – The 2015
HCCA Annual Convention and Tours was
held in Kerrville, TX between March 1 and
March 6, 2015. The event was attended by
137 members and 56 vehicles from all
across the US. Though touring was
unexpectedly wet and cold, the vehicles
were out in force and the growing
friendships kept us warm. Between the
dinners, ice cream, great rolling scenery,
seminar, videos, annual meeting, awards
and general member meeting, all
participants had a fantastic time.

members for all of their efforts over many
years of service (… so far).

the quality communication winners, a

all of the centurion vehicles, we have created
web pages that describe the program and
honor the vehicles. For confidential
reasons we are not able to directly honor
those who made it happen – The hunters,
restorers and owners.
Plaque Issuance Policy …Will the Century
Plaque Program issue plaques to vehicles
(cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles,
wagons, etc…) when they are outside of
the HCCA Club date range? The answer
is YES… Plaques will be issued to
vehicles manufactured after 1915 when
they are 100 years old. Though later
vehicles may not qualify to appear in the
HCCA Gazette article, all honored
vehicles will be listed and appear on the
new Century Plaque Program web site
pages on the HCCA web site. No vehicle
will be left behind.

New 2015 HCCA Brochure – The new
HCCA brochure has been approved and
printed. If a Regional Group or Affiliated
Registry or member wants some of the
new brochures to promote the
organization, they should contact the
HCCA office. Sample of new brochure
was in the HCCA National New Issue

in 2003, effective March 1, 2015 the price
for a Century Plaque had to be increased
to $5.00 per plaque / vehicle.
