Collector Car Appreciation Day (CCAD) will be celebrated on July 8, 2016. At the request of SEMA, this “holiday” has been marked each year since 2010 by a U.S. Senate Resolution recognizing that the “collection and restoration of historic and classic cars is an important part of preserving the technological achievements and cultural heritage of the United  States.”

As in years past, a wide range of automotive events will be held to commemorate the occasion. As this annual event continues to grow worldwide, states, provinces, counties and cities are following suit with their own recognition. SEMA encourages participation throughout the month of July to honor the classics of the past and the future.

Check out the SEMA Action Network’s (SAN) latest video PSA for tips on setting up your tribute. Please share it with your friends using the following link: https://youtu.be/yyR4cF0K8Zs

Celebrate the Hobby Your Way

• Attend an official vehicle-inspired event
• Host your own gathering or club meeting
• Promote a “Holiday Sale” at your business
• Drive your special ride, new or old, wherever the destination

Plan and submit your July event at no cost, locate a listing near you and more on the website, www.semasan.com/CCAD. Participating organizers will be awarded a copy of the Congressional resolution for display at each registered event.

It's a triple feature at the SEMA Garage. Running concurrently with the ’17 Nissan Titan and Titan XD pickup measuring session, and just one day following the ’17 Ford Super Duty measuring session, the new ’17 Nissan Armada arrives at the SEMA Garage for exclusive member access.

With the introduction of the all-new second-generation Armada fullsize SUV—arriving at Nissan dealers nationwide in mid-2016—the last piece of Nissan’s transformation of its SUV and crossover lineup falls into place. As the largest and most powerful vehicle in the portfolio, Armada earns its flagship status by every measure—whether performance, refinement, advanced technology and even heritage. Unlike the original Armada, which was based on the Nissan Titan fullsize pickup, the new-generation design traces back to one of Nissan’s most beloved global vehicles—the Patrol.

Don't miss your opportunity to gain exclusive access to global vehicle platform. The vehicle will be production spec and modest disassembly will be permitted.
