Res. 49 3) designating July 11, 2014, as “Collector Car Appreciation Day.” The Resolution was requested by SEMA and its Automotive Restoration Market Organization (ARMO) and Hot Rod Industry Alliance (HRIA) cou ncils. The date marks the fifth commemoration in what has become an an nual event to celebrate and raise awareness of the vital role automoti ve restoration and collection plays in American society. S. Res. 493 was sponsored by Congressional Automotive Performance and Motorsports Caucus Co-Chairs Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) and Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC), along with Sen. Mark Begich (D-AK). The Senators are strong advocates for the automotive hobby in Washington, and S. Res. 493 reaffirms thei r understanding of the cultural importance of collector cars. The Cauc us is an informal, non-partisan member organization that pays tribute to America’s ever-growing love affair with the car and motorsports. “We thank the U.S. Senate for its continued recognition of the coll ector car hobby as a valued American tradition and pastime,” said SE MA Vice President of Government Affairs Steve McDonald. “With Austra lia and Canada joining the celebration, Collector Car Appreciation Day has now become an international recognition of the collector car indu stry and the millions of hobbyists it supports. A number of states and local governments have adopted similar commemorative declarations as well.” Alex Tainsh, chairman of ARMO said, “The industry endeavor s to preserve our nation’s automotive heritage while providing well- paying, high-skilled jobs nationwide. Collector Car Appreciation Day i s a singular tribute to this industry and its enthusiasts.”Rick Love , Chairman of HRIA said, “Collector Car Appreciation Day is the oppo rtunity for everyone involved in this great American hobby to show off their cars and celebrate new traditions.
