On January 19, 1967, twenty-nine Mobile area antique car buffs applied for a charter in the Antique Automobile Club of America. The petition was approved in February, and a charter was issued on March 7, 1967. The Deep South Region was born.
In the 1980’s, an old building was purchased and moved to city property across from Langan Park making the DSR one of the few antique car clubs in the country to have its own clubhouse. Today, that clubhouse has been expanded and the park-like grounds improved to better host club events.
