Collector Car Appreciation Day 2023

Are you a fan of classic cars? Do you appreciate the artistry, design, and engineering that went into these iconic vehicles? 


Then mark your calendars because Collector Car Appreciation Day (CCAD) is just around the corner! 


The annual event, being celebrated this July 14th, is a time for car enthusiasts to come together and share their love for all things automotive. 

There are many ways to get involved in the festivities of CCAD, regardless of whether you are a seasoned collector or just a casual enthusiast. These include: 


  • Show off your ride on social media: Take some shots of your classic car and share them on social media with the hashtag #CollectorCarAppreciationDay. Join the conversation and connect with fellow car lovers to show your passion for these epic machines.
  • Hit up a museum: Take a trip to a local automotive museum or exhibit to soak up the history of collector cars. Many museums even have special events and displays for CCAD. 
  • Attend a car show: Experience the magic of classic vehicles up close by attending a car show. From vintage hot rods to sleek muscle cars, you'll witness the artistry and engineering of a bygone era. 
  • Host your own car show: If there isn't a car show or event happening in your area, consider hosting your own. Invite friends, family, and other collectors to display their cars in your driveway or a nearby parking lot. You can even add a potluck or BBQ to make it a fun social event.
  • Support the industry: Even if you can't attend a car show or take a collector car for a spin, there are still plenty of ways to show your support for the automotive restoration industry. Why not visit a local restoration shop and see the magic of car restoration in action? You can also support local businesses by purchasing parts from a nearby supplier. 


At Motorhead Digital, we're passionate about classic cars and take great pride in commemorating CCAD alongside our fellow enthusiasts. We believe that classic cars are not just vehicles but are a representation of history and culture. 


If you're a classic car enthusiast, don't miss out on the upcoming Collector Car Appreciation Day.


There are many great ways to get involved and show how much the classic car industry means to you.
