2026 AACA Library Yard Sale special announcement! This year's big highlight will be the Andy Weimann Plymouth table, in memory of the late Plymouth enthusiast Andy Weimann. The material for sale will be duplicate items we found while processing the donation he willed to us.

Andy collected anything and everything related to Plymouth, and you will find items like sales brochures, owner's manuals, dealer data books, and color & upholstery albums.

And before anyone asks, no, we are not finished processing the collection. These materials came from the most curated part of Andy's collection, and there is still more to process (which means more to come in the future).

If you are a Plymouth enthusiast, you won't want to miss this!

Last night, we dropped off the LEGO AACA Library bookmobile at America On Wheels, a car museum featuring a massive, bespoke LEGO train display. You can find it parked in front of the city book store. We were at the museum last night for a wonderful reception, kicking off the AACA Grand National in Allentown, PA.

The real-life bookmobile will be at the Grand National, but the LEGO version will be on a long-term loan. If you visit the AOW in Allentown, see If you can spot it on the layout!

Cars have inspired more than great road trips—they've inspired great music, too!
