Classic Car Day

Today, and November 3rd annually, is (among other anniversaries) Classic Car Day. With a secretariat located in Wada, Suginami-ku, Tokyo, the oldest classic car club in Japan, the Japan Classic Car Club (CCCJ) established the anniversary. They chose November 3rd as the date as it is the anniversary of the club's founding. It was founded on November 3rd 1956. 

 The purpose of Classic Car Day is to foster classic car culture through the club's activities aimed at researching and preserving classic cars in Japan, enlightening cultural values, and passing them on to the next generation. They are doing a really good job, because Classic Car Festivals are really popular in Japan in recent years. And you can find many Classic Car events on around Japan, particularly in Autumn. 

The feature photo of this post was taken at one such Classic Car event. I have been to several over the years. I love seeing classic cars in pristine condition. There is usually a wide choice of cars. Not just Japanese cars either, but cars from various parts of the world too. Have you ever been to a Classic Car Festival or event?
