                               RESOLUTION

 
Expressing support for the designation of July 14th as ``Collector Car 
Appreciation Day'' and recognizing 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.

Whereas many people in the United States maintain classic automobiles as a 
        pastime and do so with great passion and as a means of individual 
        expression;
Whereas ``Collector Car Appreciation Day'' events and commemorations create 
        opportunities for collector car owners to educate young people about the 
        importance of preserving the cultural heritage of the United States, 
        including through the collection and restoration of collector cars;
Whereas the collection, restoration, and preservation of automobiles is an 
        activity shared across generations and across all segments of society;
Whereas thousands of local car clubs and related businesses have been 
        instrumental in preserving a historic part of the heritage of the United 
        States by encouraging the restoration and exhibition of such vintage 
        works of art;
Whereas automotive restoration provides well-paying, high-skilled jobs for 
        people in all 50 States; and
Whereas automobiles have provided the inspiration for music, photography, 
        cinema, fashion, and other artistic pursuits that have become part of 
        the popular culture of the United States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the designation of ``Collector Car 
        Appreciation Day'';
            (2) recognizes the effect that the more than 100-year 
        history of the automobile has had on the economic progress of 
        the United States and supports wholeheartedly all activities 
        involved in the restoration and exhibition of classic 
        automobiles;
            (3) 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; and
            (4) encourages the people of the United States to engage in 
        events and commemorations of ``Collector Car Appreciation 
        Day''.
                                 <all>
