This bill seeks to officially designate the restoration, exhibition, showing, and enjoyment of classic and antique motor vehicles as South Carolina's official family-friendly pastime. The bill's preamble provides historical context, highlighting how automobiles have been a significant part of American culture since the early 20th century, with enthusiasts forming clubs like the Antique Automobile Club of America as early as 1935. The legislation emphasizes the inclusive nature of classic car appreciation, noting that people from all backgrounds can enjoy this pastime through activities like car restoration, collecting, and attending car shows such as the Run to the Sun Car Show in Myrtle Beach and the Blue Ridge Fest in Pickens. By adding Section 1-1-668 to the South Carolina Code, the bill formally recognizes the cultural significance of classic and antique motor vehicles and celebrates the community and passion surrounding their preservation and exhibition. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
