The Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) Museum supports the SEMA Action Network (SAN) in declaring July 10, 2015 as National Collector Car Appreciation Day (CCAD). It is a day to help raise awareness of the entire car hobby and its role in American society. This will be the sixth consecutive year for what has become an annual event to recognize the importance of automotive restoration and collection. Each year since 2010, this "holiday" has been marked by a U.S. Senate Resolution at the request of the SAN to honor the classics of the past and the future.   |
