U.S. Congress Members Introduce Resolution Recognizing July 14th as “Collector Car Appreciation Day”
Once Again, Lawmakers Express Support for Collection and Restoration of Collector Cars



The Co-Chairs of the SEMA-supported Congressional Automotive Performance and Motorsports Caucus introduced U.S. House Resolution 573 (H. Res. 573) at the request of the SEMA Action Network (SAN) recognizing July 14, 2023 as “Collector Car Appreciation Day (CCAD).” The date marks the 14th commemoration of what has become an annual event to celebrate and raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society.

The SAN thanks Congressional Automotive Performance and Motorsports Caucus co-chairs Rep. Bill Posey (R-FL) and Rep. Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. (D-GA) for recognizing the cultural significance of collecting and restoring collector vehicles. These Congressional leaders are strong advocates for the automotive culture in Washington, D.C. The Caucus is an informal, non-partisan member organization that pays tribute to America’s ever-growing love affair with the car and motorsports.
