SEMA and its Automotive Restoration Market Organization (ARMO) and Hot Rod Industry Alliance (HRIA) councils have announced that the next Collector Car Appreciation Day (CCAD) will be celebrated July 12, 2019. The date marks the 10th consecutive commemoration in what has become an annual event to raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society.  

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, CCAD is a singular tribute to the collector-car industry and the millions of hobbyists it supports.

The U.S. Congress first recognized CCAD in 2010 at SEMA’s request and helped launch this annual event. In preparation for the 10th 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 previous resolutions were sponsored by co-chairs of the SEMA-supported Congressional Automotive Performance and Motorsports Caucus. These Congressional leaders are strong advocates for the automotive hobby in Washington, and recognize the integral role collector cars have played in fostering our nation’s appreciation for the automobile’s unique place in our history. The Caucus is an informal, non-partisan group that pays tribute to America's ever-growing love affair with the car and motorsports.   

SEMA will maintain and publicize a list of scheduled events to commemorate the day at www.semaSAN.com. Individuals, car clubs and business owners interested in publicizing events can submit the details of their celebration or contact Colby Martin, director of the SEMA Action Network (SAN), at 909-978-6721 or san@sema.org. For those who are unable to celebrate on July 12, SEMA encourages events to be scheduled throughout the month of July 2019.

During the SEMA Show, meet automotive media personality Courtney Hansen at the SEMA Action Network’s (SAN) vehicle display.

Automotive media personality Courtney Hansen will once again be the SEMA Action Network’s (SAN) guest at the 2018 SEMA Show. Those attending can meet her Wednesday, October 31, from 3:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m., at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Booth #60003 (outside Central Hall). In addition to meeting and greeting attendees, she will promote the SAN’s influence on state and federal proposals affecting enthusiasts nationwide. In fact, bills threatening the hobby in states across the nation are opposed by SAN forces each year—some are killed in less than 24 hours. On the flip side, efforts to preserve and enjoy the classics of the past and the future are supported on a pathway toward enactment into law.  

Stop by to have your photo taken with Hansen and find out the latest word on keeping the nation’s prized vehicles on the road. Get a head start at www.semaSAN.com. Hotchkis Sport Suspension’s “E-Max” ’71 Dodge Challenger T/A will also be featured and will stand as this year’s visual symbol for Show attendees of the types of vehicles and equipment that many states seek to restrict and regulate.
