Wheelin’ Thru Texas
69th Texas Tour 2023
Exploring the Schulenburg Area
with AACA Golden Crescent Region
May 18-May 21, 2023
On behalf of the Antique Automobile Club of America – Golden Crescent Region, I would like to invite you to attend this year’s Texas Tour in Schulenberg, Texas. Our plan is to have a weekend of fun driving adventures as we share our mutual hobby. We want to encourage all to join in. We have built in time for visiting, relaxing, games, and shopping, hopefully something for everyone.
Thursday Mary 18 – Registration will open around one o’clock in the host hotel, and early bird tours will be provided to some of the local attractions. The Welcome Party will be provided in the park.
Friday May 19 – We will start the day off with car judging and a ladies’ event and then off to our planned tour to see a local car collection and have lunch. We will visit one or more painted churches that date back to late 1800’s early 1900’s. The evening banquet will be at Sengelmann’s for some German food, along with a Hobo band. Should be quite an interesting evening.
Saturday May 20 – We will tour more of the back roads to Round Top, a unique small town with many attractions, such as Festival Hill and antique and art galleries for everyone to explore. Lunch will be on your own. The closing banquet with awards will be held at Senglemann’s.
Sunday May 21 – We say our goodbyes until the next Texas Tour.
We hope that you will join us on this Wheelin Thru Texas Tour Your Tour Host,

For the Best Owner-Restored Car on the Texas Tour
YEAR___________ MAKE_____________________________________ JUDGING CLASS___________ OWNER______________________________________________________ CAR NUMBER ____________
An owner-restored car is one that was largely restored by it current owner and not by a professional. For the car to be eligible for this award it must be at least 25 years old, the owner must have personally performed at least 2/3 (67%) of the restoration, and must not be a professional in automotive restoration work. (A professional is a workman who is compensated in some manner for doing a particular type or phase of automotive repair or restoration work.)
The owner shall assess the percentage of work personally performed in the restoration of each categories listed below. (Omit categories that do not pertain to your car’s restoration.) The average of the categories involved shall be added to the score from the class judging. The highest combined total will determine which car is the best restored with the greatest amount of work performed by the owner.
NOTE: Machine work is beyond the capability of the majority of owner-restorers. So, for example, if the owner did ALL of the disassembly and reassembly of, say, the transmission or the engine (which also may have required professional restoration machine work) he may consider that he has done 100% of that category restoration.
