The Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) and the Hot Rod Industry Alliance (HRIA) have announced that the next “Collector Car Appreciation Day” will be celebrated on July 14, 2017, marking the eighth consecutive commemoration in an annual event meant to raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society and the American economy.
SEMA and its councils will once again seek a Congressional resolution to recognize the day’s significance. The industry endeavors to preserve our nation’s automotive heritage while providing well-paying, high-skilled jobs nationwide. Intended to celebrate the classics of the past and the future, Collector Car Appreciation Day (CCAD) is a singular tribute to the collector car industry and the millions of hobbyists it supports.
“The U.S. Senate first recognized Collector Car Appreciation Day in 2010 at our request and helped launch this annual event,” said SEMA Vice President of Government Affairs Steve McDonald. “As we prepare for the eighth celebration of our nation’s automotive heritage, enthusiasts and related businesses are already planning open houses, car cruises, club gatherings and educational events to commemorate the day.”
