National Association of Automobile Clubs of Canada
Greetings All,
These last two to three years have been a struggle for the old car hobby. Many events were cancelled in 2019 and are thankfully emerging again in 2022.
The big Concours news in the USA is that the?Arizona Concours?is coming back after closing its doors in 2018.? The revived Concours will be back January 22, 2023 in ‘Old Town’ Scottsdale Arizona to kick off car week. The venue is featuring the ‘design and aerodynamics’ of the automobile. The 100-car field will feature many of the most rare and exciting collector and race cars in the world.?https://scottsdaleperformingarts.org/event/arizona-concours-delegance/
“Over the course of its five-year run, the Arizona Concours raised a reported $300,000 for its named charity, Make-A-Wish Arizona, an amount sufficient to grant more than 30 wishes for children fighting life-threatening illnesses.”
The big news in Canada is the reappearance of the?Cobble Beach Concours d’Elegance?in Owen Sound Ontario. Every year this premier show has featured world class vehicles from the USA and Canada.? Many of the truly great collector cars of Europe and North America will be featured at this??Cobble Beach Concours d’Elegance | Sept 16 – 18, 2022?The (NAACC) National Association of Automobile Clubs of Canada plays a major role in this Concours as?the show is an official?sanctioned NAACC event.?The National presents the Rolling Sculpture, Historical Significance and Canadian Hobbyist of the Year Awards.

July 2022 has been designated as?Automotive Heritage Month?in Canada and the USA. The NAACC will also?celebrate Collector Appreciation Day July 8, 2022. The NAACC started these two celebrations in conjunction with SEMA/SAN in the USA. These celebrations were established and declared by SEMA/SAN and the NAACC. ?The July 8th?date marks the thirteenth consecutive commemoration in what is now an annual holiday to raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in North American society.

We traveled with approximately 99 other collector vehicles. ?This July the Coasters Tour leaves from Newfoundland and travels to Victoria BC. They should arrive in Victoria on Labor Day weekend. The sixty plus vehicle Tour will have traveled approximately 20,000 Km over a two-month period.

I had not been for a couple of years and my brother had never been so it was definitely time for a visit. So much has changed since my last visit, but the Bullitt Mustang and Chi Town hustler really stood out.
