Automotive Heritage Month

July has been declared Automotive Heritage Month in Prince Edward Island, with July 10 designated as Car Collector Appreciation Day. For 18 years, antique vehicle owners across PEI have been celebrating Automotive Heritage Month to recognize the importance of antique cars and their collectors. PEI Antique Car Club members will participate in events Island-wide showcasing their vehicles while raising funds for local charities and non-profit organizations. Some automotive events in July include: A car show at Richmond Dairy Bar on Tuesdays, Cars and Coffee in Sherwood on Wednesdays, a car show in Wood Islands on Thursdays, and Classic Car Night in Summerside on Fridays. Antique car collectors can use specialized license plates to recognize their vehicle’s history and authenticity. The PEI Antique Car Club issues the plates on behalf of the province.
