The Classic Car Club of America (CCCA) is an organization founded in 1952 to celebrate the grand automobiles of the prewar period. At the time, the vehicles covered by the Club were considered too modern to be of any interest by such organizations as the Antique Automobile Club of America and despite their often stupendous cost when new, were considered practically worthless.
Times have changed, of course, and the vehicles eligible for CCCA membership are now some of the most highly valued cars in existence.

—Daniel Taradash (b. 1913)

—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
