Cruisin’ Lindbergh is a happening where all types of automotive enthusiasts come together to relive memories and create new ones on a stretch of St. Louis road called Lindbergh Boulevard.

The SEMA Action Network (SAN) announced that the latest Collector Car Appreciation Day (CCAD) will be officially celebrated on July 14, 2023. The date marks the fourteenth consecutive commemoration in what is now an annual holiday to raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society.
Intended since 2010 to celebrate the classics of the past and the future, the U.S. Congress has helped launch CCAD by introducing resolutions each year at the SAN’s request. This year, the U.S. House of Representatives introduced U.S. House Resolution 573 (H. Res. 573). The resolution was sponsored by co-chairs of the SEMA-supported Congressional Automotive Performance and Motorsports Caucus. These Congressional leaders have been strong advocates for the automotive culture in Washington, D.C., and recognize the integral role collector cars have played in fostering our nation’s appreciation for the automobile’s unique historical place in our history.
It’s a perfect opportunity to drive your Classic or Muscle Car to work!
Help promote this special day: post on social media using the hashtag #CCAD and tag the celebration’s Facebook fan page (@CollectorCarAppreciationDayCCAD).
CELEBRATE OUR HOLIDAY YOUR WAY!

The Ames Automotive Foundation in Marlborough, NH, is proud to present over ninety Muscle Cars and Classics on display, spanning 100 years of automotive history. Most of these cars are completely original, including tires and paint, and typically have fewer than 10,000 miles on the odometer. The rest are high quality restorations of rare “one of” cars. When Steve Ames started this collection, he realized how rare it is to find such a stunning, original example of classic cars and focused on ultra low-mileage, untouched, original vehicles. Realizing these vehicles needed to be preserved for future generations, Steve and his wife Joan created the Ames Automotive Foundation in 2016 to allow future generations to have the opportunity to learn how the workers could assemble these cars in a matter of hours on a moving assembly line. The Ames Automotive Foundation allows these extraordinary vehicles to live on for years to come. They invite you to come see these wonderful examples of American ingenuity and hear their stories. Tours are currently available by advance appointment. Please fill out the contact form to schedule a tour today!
