Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2020

2019 has been a very busy year for the NAACC

NAACC Director Conrad LeLièvre is part of the Nova Scotia government automotive legislation re-write team. He meets with Government on a regular basis. NS is drafting new legislation that will allow collector vehicles more freedom and provide guidelines for safer operation. Conrad also represents the NAACC at the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators meetings. Conrad helps to shape Federal and Provincial Highway laws. It is very important that collector car hobby has a seat at this table. https://www.ccmta.ca

  • All Provinces but one issued 2019 Proclamations declaring July 12th as International Collector Car Appreciation Day across the USA & Canada and July as Automotive Heritage Month across Canada. Nine Provinces in Canada have now adopted this SEMA/NAACC project. semasan.com/collector-car-appreciation-day-2019-announcement  
  • NAACC Directors in each Province need your help and advice as to how to host this group in your Province. Please call up NAACC Coasters Cross Canada Tour 2022. https://www.coasters2022.com The tour will travel from NF to Victoria BC. NAACC Director Fraser Field and his wife Dorothy are once again the official Wagon Masters. Several Provinces have already volunteered to host BBQ’s, local tours and club get togethers as the Coasters Tour moves through their Provinces.                                                                                         

The NAACC sanctioned three major Concours d’Elegance’s in 2019. The Cobble Beach Concours in Kemble, Ontario. https://www.cobblebeachconcours.com the Crescent Beach Concours https://crescentbeachconcours.com/ in Surrey, BC. and the Vancouver Island Concours in Victoria BC. https://islandconcours.com

All fall under the NAACC umbrella. These were excellent shows!!! Plan to attend them in 2020. Congratulations to the Cobble Beach Concours. It was ranked in the top 10 Concours in North America in 2019.
