9th Annual Collector Car Appreciation Day to Be Celebrated July 13
The SEMA Action Network (SAN) announced that the next Collector Car Appreciation Day (CCAD) will be celebrated July 13. The date will mark the ninth consecutive commemoration in what is now an annual event to raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society.
Intended to celebrate the classics of the past and the future, the U.S. Senate helped launch CCAD by passing Resolutions each year since 2010 at the SAN’s request. The previous resolutions were sponsored by Senators Richard Burr (R-NC) and Jon Tester (D-MT). The Senators have been strong advocates for the automotive hobby in Washington, D.C., and recognize the integral role collector cars have played in fostering our nation’s appreciation for the automobile’s unique historical place in our history.
In preparation for the ninth celebration of the nation’s automotive heritage, enthusiasts and related businesses are already planning open houses, car cruises, club gatherings and educational events to commemorate the day. The SAN will again maintain and publicize a list of scheduled events to commemorate America’s time-tested love affair with the automobile at www.semaSAN.com/CCAD.
Individuals, car clubs and business owners interested in publicizing events can submit the details of their celebration. For questions, contact SAN Director Colby Martin at 909-978-6721 or san@sema.org. If you are unable to celebrate on July 13, the SAN encourages events to be scheduled throughout the month of July 2018.
