2023 St. Colman Car Show a Success, Benefiting Honor Flight Network

On a sunny Florida day in November, over 90 car owners and their vehicles participated in the St. Colman Car Show, a fundraiser for the Honor Flight Network. Despite the slightly warm weather, many spectators came out to enjoy the show and support the cause.

A variety of cars were on display, from classic and antique vehicles to modern sports cars and muscle cars. There was something for everyone to enjoy, and the spectators had a great time browsing the cars and talking to the owners.

The St. Colman Car Show was a huge success, raising a significant amount of money for the Honor Flight Network. This organization provides veterans with the opportunity to visit their memorials in Washington, D.C., at no cost to them. It is a truly worthy cause, and the car show was a great way to support it.

Steve Neumeyer presents House Resolution 573 to Lou Tassi and Sherry Wright. The U.S. Congress has helped launch CCAD by introducing resolutions each year.

A car show celebrating Collector Car Recognition Day was held on Saturday, July 15th at Galuppi’s Restaurant in Pompano Beach, FL. The event was sponsored by SEMA, the Fort Lauderdale Region of the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) with assistance from Rick Case Automitive Group and the City Of Pompano Beach. Donations were collected to benefit Honor Flights.

Over 100 cars were on display, ranging from classic American muscle cars to European sports cars. There were also a number of special interest vehicles, including a 1959 Chevrolet Apache 3100 pickup, a 1952 Chevrolet De Luxe Bel Air Hardtop, and a Good Humor ice cream truck.

In addition to the car show, there were also a number of other activities, including a 50/50 drawing, Scott The Music Man DJ, and goodie bags to all participamts. The event was a great way for car enthusiasts to celebrate their love of cars and to learn more about the history of automotive restoration.

The event was a success, and organizers are already planning for next year’s event. If you’re a car enthusiast, be sure to mark your calendar for July 13, 2024.

Collector Car Appreciation Day 2020

Substituting a social distancing event celebrating Collector Car Appreciation Day made sense instead of promoting our original car show. With the rising Covid 19 cases in South Florida it is irresponsible to proceed with a car show where we can not assure that participants and spectators will be safe. How about instead we did a rolling car show?

We met at the public parking lot at 4500 N. A1A in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea at 6:30 PM on Friday July 10th. Cruising south to East Las Olas Blvd. then back north on A1A along the ocean and finally north under the intercoastal bridge in Pompano Beach we returned to our original start. There were plenty of waves and smiles from people along our route when our parade passed.

Upon returning, a presentation was made to our club president, Sherry Wright in the form of a ceremonious copy of the official US House of Representatives resolution (H Res. 998) declaring July 10th “Collector Car Appreciation Day”. Specialty Equipment Market Assn. provided the document and helped us promote our event by providing a link on their website. A recap of all events nationwide in an online gallery can be found on the celebration’s official homepage. http://semasan.com/collector-car-appreciation-day
