SSR NOSTALGIC AWARD 2026



Pass on a timeless machine—one that transcends generations—to its next spotlight.


There was a time when cars were more than just a means of transportation—they were an expression of one’s way of life.
Classic cars that still carry that spirit continue to run today.

This photo contest is dedicated to those who cherish, preserve, and refine these timeless machines.

Announcing the “SSR Nostalgic Award 2026.”

A quiet presence in the garage, or the tension of a moment just before setting off.
A natural part of everyday life, blending seamlessly into the scenery.
Each photograph holds a story that goes beyond specifications.

Capture the timeless appeal of classic cars and the history they share with SSR—
and express it through your unique perspective.

Selected works will be featured on our official website and social media channels.

Your car could become someone else’s inspiration.
Pass on its value and passion to the next generation.

We sincerely look forward to your submissions.
