Given that bit of information, how about all us gearheads locally get together and show off our collectible cars this Friday, July 9th around 4:00pm to 7:00pm at the Taco Time parking lot, 196th St. & 44th Ave. West ( Across from the Fred Meyer store ) in Lynnwood, Washington.

Then at about 7:15pm, cruise down to Dicks Drive In in Lake City for dinner (YUMMY BURGERS & FRIES !!! ) Then at about 8:30pm, cruise on down to Golden Gardens Park in Ballard ( Just like we did in the 1960's & 1970's !!! )

And finally at about 10:15pm or so, drive up to Dick's Drive In on Holman Road for dessert ( How about a ice cream cone or a shake ) Meet us along the way, or just cruise to any one of the mentioned locations, but most important of all, DRIVE YOUR COOL CAR !!

         OFFICIAL COLLECTOR CAR APPRECIATION DAY SLATED FOR JULY 9, 2010

     From the June 2010 SEMA Driving Force newsletter.  Note: SEMA grants permission for anyone to use their articles.



The United States Senate passed Senate Resolution 513 (S. Res. 513) at the request of the SAN, designating July 9, 2010 as "Collector Car Appreciation Day" nationwide.  The resolution recognizes 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.

   The resolution was sponsored by Congressional Automotive Performance and Motorsports Caucus members Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) and Senator Richard Burr (R-NC).  Senator Tester and Senator Burr have been strong advocates for the automotive hobby in Washington, D.C., and their sponsorship of S. Res. 513 reaffirms their understanding of the cultural importance of collector cars.  The caucus is an informal, non-partisan group of federal lawmakers 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 motorsports.

    The resolution was the result of an effort undertaken as a means to raise awareness of the vital roll automotive restoration and collection plays in American society.  SEMA Vice President of Government Affairs Steve McDonald said, "We greatly appreciate the United States Senate's recognition of the important role classic car restoration serves in our country.  As Americans gather at car cruises and other events in conjunction with 'Collector Car Appreciation Day' on July 9, these vital contributions will be honored and preserved.

    "At a time when governmental intrusion, intentional or otherwise, is often negatively affecting the hobby, this is a positive move," added Tom Cox, president of Southwest Virginia Car Council.  "The automotive hobby has many tentacles that support jobs, manufacturing, small business and families.  It's nice to see some official recognition of the beneficial impact automobiles and our hobby have made to America and the world."
