Walking the Walk: Collector Car Appreciation Day
Eleven Hagerty employees drove their collector cars (and one bike) to work to mark Collector Car Appreciation Day on July 9. It was a great mix of American, German, British and Japanese machinery from the 1950s through the 1980s. At least one Hagerty employee is in the market for an Alfa Romeo Spider, so perhaps we’ll add an Italian to the mix next year.
Matt Lewis, an account executive for Hagerty Private Client Services, said that “owning a collector car [a 1969 Austin-Healey Sprite] makes client concerns more relatable for me and it’s a great conversation starter.” Immediately after work, Lewis is off to James Russell’s house to tune the carburetors on the MGB that was just handed down to James from his father.
“It’s a wonderful day to take the cars out of the garage and celebrate everything that’s great about the hobby,” said Rob Sass, Hagerty’s senior manager for Media Services.
