SEMA Sets July 8th as “Collector Car Appreciation Day” 
Annual Event Acknowledges Importance of Collection and Restoration of Classic 
Cars
 
The Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) and its Automotive Restoration 
Market Organization (ARMO) and Hot Rod Industry Alliance (HRIA) Councils 
announced July 8, 2011 as “Collector Car Appreciation Day.”  The date marks the 
second commemoration in what will become an annual event to raise awareness of 
the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society.  
SEMA and its councils are now working to secure a Congressional resolution to 
recognize the day’s significance.  

 
“Last year, the United States Senate helped launch the first national Collector 
Car Appreciation Day by passing Senate Resolution 513 at our request,” said SEMA 
Vice President of Government Affairs Steve McDonald.  “As a result, thousands of 
Americans gathered at car cruises, parades and other events to celebrate our 
nation’s automotive heritage.  As we move forward, SEMA’s commitment to 
preserving and promoting the automotive restoration industry through its 
projects and programs is evident in this special day.”
 
S.. Res. 513 was sponsored by Congressional Automotive Performance and 
Motorsports Caucus members Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) and Senator Richard Burr 
(R-NC).  Senators Tester and Burr have been strong advocates for the automotive 
hobby in Washington, and the resolution reaffirmed their understanding of the 
cultural importance of collector cars.  The Caucus is an informal, non-partisan 
group that pays tribute to America’s ever growing love affair with the car and 
motorsports.  The Caucus recognizes the integral role collector cars have played 
in fostering our nation’s appreciation for the automobile’s unique historical 
place in our history.    

 
The SAN will maintain a list of scheduled events to commemorate America’s 
time-tested love affair with the automobile.  Individuals, car clubs and 
business owners interested in publicizing events should contact Mike Dingell, 
Director, SEMA Action Network (SAN) at 202/783-6007, ext. 38 or miked at sema.org.  
If you are unable to celebrate on July 8th, the SAN encourages events to be 
scheduled throughout the month of July.
 
Please forward this Alert to your fellow car enthusiasts.  Urge them to join the 
SAN and help defend the hobby!
