2026 AACA NATIONAL CONVENTION & TRADE SHOW

Mark your calendars! The Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) will be holding its 2026 AACA National Convention at the Westfields Marriott on February 5-7 in Chantilly, VA. The event will include:

• Thursday Welcome Dessert (February 5)

• Friday Casino Night (February 6)

• Saturday AACA’s Annual Awards  (February 7)

Most importantly, you will have the opportunity to meet Bill Carberry, the founder and operator of Classic Radiators & Heaters! Bill has once again accepted the AACA’s request to present a seminar on antique and vintage radiator repair and restoration on behalf of the Association. This time at the 2026 National Convention. Along with the seminar, Classic Radiators & Heaters will be displaying products at the Trade Show. This will be a perfect opportunity for you to discuss your cooling, heating, and air conditioning needs! Whether you need to have a honeycomb radiator repaired, increased cooling for your hot rod, better heat in your vintage motorcar or anything else cooling system-related, have your questions ready, join his seminar and talk to Bill at the Classic Radiators & Heaters booth! Please note that you will also get to talk to Bill about old cars, cooling systems or anything else on Thursday at the Welcome Dessert, although we highly recommend NOT standing between Bill and the dessert table as you do so. This advice is for your benefit.

You must be a current AACA member for 2026 in order to register to attend the convention.
