The SEMA Action Network (SAN) announced that the next Collector Car Appreciation Day (CCAD) will be celebrated on July 8, 2016. The date will mark the seventh consecutive commemoration in what is now an annual event to raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society.
“Car and truck enthusiasts can begin planning cruises, club gatherings and educational events to mark the 2016 commemoration,” said SEMA Vice President of Government Affairs Steve McDonald. “The passion for the collector car hobby that continues to be demonstrated by SAN members nationwide is most clearly evident in this special day.”
The SAN will again maintain and publicize a list of scheduled events to commemorate our time-tested love affair with the automobile at www.semaSAN.com/CCAD. Individuals, car clubs and business owners interested in publicizing events can also submit the details of their celebration on that page. For questions, contact SAN Director Colby Martin at 909-978-6721 or san@sema.org. If you are unable to celebrate on July 8, the SAN encourages events to be scheduled throughout the month of July 2016.
