I find it worrying that in a country with such a strong historic vehicle interest base, there isn't 
some form of central 'power base' - or is there one I've not heard of?
In the UK, we have The Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs to which the vast majority of 
clubs representing the many different makes and models all belong. Collectively, the FBHVC 
represents some thirty thousand old car enthusiasts in the UK and it's also an integral part of a 
similar and much larger European organisation that brings together similar FBHVC functions in all 
the other countries.. This enables the various organisations throughout the EU (European Union) to 
be vigilant about pending legislation in our own backyards, while at the same time, making a very 
powerful lobby to campaign against the 'green' ideas that come out of the European Parliament.
The bottom line is that it's a very powerful voice that national governments and the controlling 
Parliament listens to and usually accommodates when new legislation is in the review process.
Surely something of that sort exists in the US?
