	The U.S. Senate passed Senate Resolution 196 (S. Res. 196) designating July 10, 2015, as “Collector Car Appreciation Day.”

West Virginia Governor Earl Ray Tomblin issued a proclamation designating July 10, 2015, as Collector Car Appreciation Day in the state. The SEMA Action Network (SAN) announced this date to mark the sixth commemoration in what has become an annual event to raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society. Earlier this year, the U.S. Senate passed Senate Resolution 196 (S. Res. 196) at the SAN’s request designating July 10, 2015, as Collector Car Appreciation Day nationwide.
