COLLECTOR CAR APPRECIATION DAY - July 9th

Join your fellow collector car owners by being a part of the national celebration of Collector Car Appreciation Day, July 9, 2010. SEMA and other car enthusiasts secured a Senate Resolution (US Senate Resolution #513) designating July 9th as "COLLECTOR CAR APPRECIATION DAY" as a means to raise awareness of the vital role that automotive restoration and collection plays in American society.

If you own an antique, muscle car, hot rod or any other collector car, celebrate this historic day by attending a car show, club gathering cruise in, or simply by driving and being seen in your special ride on Friday, July 9, 2010. Turn on your headlights and blink them when you see another collector car on July 9.
