Collector Cars: Art on Wheels
Collector cars aren’t your everyday run-of-the-mill vehicles. These automotive wonders are meticulously preserved, restored, or maintained for their historical, cultural, and sentimental value. From the roaring classics of the 1920s to the muscle cars of the ’60s and ’70s, these vehicles embody the spirit of bygone eras, representing automotive craftsmanship at its finest.
They aren’t just transportation; they’re rolling pieces of art that transport us back in time.
The Origin of Collector Car Appreciation Day
Collector Car Appreciation Day was created by the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) and its Automotive Restoration Market Organization (ARMO) and Hot Rod Industry Alliance (HRIA) Councils. The inaugural Collector Car Appreciation Day was recognized on July 9, 2010, thanks to the efforts of Senators Jon Tester and Richard Burr, who sponsored U.S. Senate resolution S. Res 513.
They understood the importance of honoring and preserving the rich automotive heritage that has shaped car culture.
