Collector Car Appreciation Day Honored Worldwide
Thousands paid tribute to the fifth annual Collector Car Appreciation Day (CCAD) on July 11, 2014. Intended to celebrate the classics of the past and the future, a wide range of nearly 150 official events were held throughout July in the United States, Canada and Australia to commemorate the day.
As in previous years, the occasion was designated by the SAN-requested U.S. Senate Resolution 493 sponsored by Senator Jon Tester (D-MT), Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) and Senator Mark Begich (D-AK). This document recognizes "that the collection and restoration of historic and classic cars is an important part of preserving the technological achievements and cultural heritage of the United States."
With our hobby's "holiday" continuing to grow, lawmakers in states, provinces, counties and local areas all over the country and Canada are following suit. They join the U.S. Senate to mark the day's significance in raising awareness of the vital role the automotive pastime plays in American society. This year's participants included:
- California
- Louisiana
- Michigan
- New Mexico
- British Columbia, Canada
- Manitoba, Canada
- Nova Scotia, Canada
- Las Vegas, Nevada
- Madera County, California
A detailed summary and online photo gallery of CCAD festivities is available on the SEMA Action Network's (SAN) website at www.semaSAN.com/CCAD. Special thanks to everyone who made this year's celebration a memorable one. Stay tuned for the announcement of next year's CCAD!
