. Bob, one of the elder statesmen of the club won’t reveal his age too easily
but we do believe that he also carries the distinction of being
the ‘oldest’ Mid-State member!
Mid-State Antique Auto Club Then...
Prior to the formation of the Mid State Antique Auto Club, several former members of ROCK,
met to form a new club. ROCK was a club formed primarily of Ford Model T and A owners.
Rollstone was the name of an area of Fitchburg and was appropriate to find its way into the
name of this club. The original club met regularly in Fitchburg, MA in one of the member's barn.
Meetings lasted as long as members could stand sitting on the hard boxes and barrels or
until the cold got to them (during winter meetings).
As members faded in and out of the club, over the years, a few die-hards, listed below, finally
re-organized in 1979 and became the basis of our present club, Mid State Antique Auto Club (MSAAC).
Now...
