Miles Collier has done more than preserving automobiles. He has elevated them as objects of culture, design, and historical meaning,\u201d said Sarah Cook, President of the Automotive Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough his vision and leadership, he continues to redefine the standards by which automobile history is studied, preserved, and shared. We are proud to recognize the depth and durability of his impact.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The following evening, the Automotive Hall of Fame will host REVEAL 2026 at the Hamilton Harbor Yacht Club, where AHF will officially unveil its Class of 2026 Inductees.
