Belmont Shore Car Show: Zagato Perana Z-one

The perfect ride

You never know what you may find at a car show. Getting to a show early has advantages, and this shot proves it. An hour later getting any kind of photograph of this Italian exotic would have been impossible with all the car enthusiast surrounding it.

The Classic Auto Show 2019

The Classic Auto Show is at the OC Fairgrounds.

The Ford Pinto is showcasing some bling at the Classic Auto Show. This show has a different vibe from the last two shows at the Los Angeles Convention Center. It was almost like the beginning of a new show, starting with the line to get into the venue. Classics showcased outside on the lawn and parking lot with selected classics housed inside the buildings on the fairgrounds. Photos from the show will be up this week. Hoping they figured out the entrance lines, so today is a better experience. Catch last year’s show and enjoy the rides.

So Cal Falcons Classics in the Park Car Show

Classics in the Park 2018

Falcons in the park. The So Cal Falcons put on their first classic car show October 6, 2018. Putting in all the work is not an easy task so it was great to see the Falcons and Ranchero showing some style. A big shout out to the So Cal Falcon Club for all the work it takes to put on a car show. Looking forward to next year. One thing about car shows are the happy faces checking out the rides. Look for photos of the show this week.

40 year anniversary: The Love Machine

The Love Machine

Last year at the Roadster Show we came across The Love Machine, Steve Kimmel's restored Impala from Cheech and Chong, "Up in Smoke". It was a happy surprise when Mr. Kimmel contacted us to see if we could do a photo shoot with his awesome ride for a write up on the classic 1964 Impala. Meeting up at an abandon gas station gave a great opportunity to check out his classic without the noise from the car show experience. Fun time shooting the ride. Thanks Steve. Check out the write up at TheClassicCars.comJournal. The Love Machine is showcasing today at Amoeba Records, in Hollywood from 3-6. Check it out.

All in the family: The Ford Ranchero

The Fabulous Fords Forever Car Show April 15, 2018

The perfect ride is all in the family. Restorations stories are the best part of meeting car show participants. The family classic stored in garages everywhere creates the perfect opportunity to pass down history from father to son. This fabulous Ford Ranchero showcases the pride and hard work it takes to bring a classic back to its envisioned glory. Great to see everyone bring out their Fords for a historical view of the car show experience. Going through all the photos taken, look for them to post this week. Check out last years show, click the pic.
