A Day to Celebrate Our Passion
Annual Collector Car Appreciation Day Slated for July 8
The United States Senate passed Senate Resolution 154 (S. Res. 154) designating July 8, 2011 as "Collector Car Appreciation Day." This effort was again undertaken by your SEMA Action Network (SAN) friends in Washington, D.C., as a means to raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society. Like last year, Collector Car Appreciation Day will also provide an opportunity for enthusiasts, like you, to gather at events nationwide to celebrate this special day and raise awareness of the importance of our great American hobby.
S. Res. 154 was sponsored by U.S. Senators Jon Tester (D-MT) and Richard Burr (R-NC). Senators Tester and Burr have been strong advocates for the automotive hobby in Washington, and S. Res. 154 reaffirms their understanding of the cultural importance of collector cars.
"Last year, the U.S. Senate helped launch the first national Collector Car Appreciation Day at our request," said SEMA Vice President of Government Affairs Steve McDonald. "As a result, thousands of Americans gathered at car cruises, parades and other events to celebrate our nation's automotive heritage. The SAN's commitment to preserving and promoting the automotive hobby through its projects and programs is evident in this special day. We look forward to even more celebrations this July 8 and in the years to come."
Across the country, events are being planned to recognize this important day for collectors and enthusiasts. Car cruises, club gatherings and other fun events will take place to recognize the importance of preserving the heritage of the United States by encouraging the restoration and exhibition of collector cars. The success of the resolution is only as strong as your participation in events on July 8, and we are asking all SAN members to get involved and make the 2011 celebration of Collector Car Appreciation Day one for the history books.
