The Orange Plaza Rotary Car Show held their 28th Annual event recently closing down the famous and historic Orange Plaza/Circle. The show sold out of registrations in record time. Over 400 cars lined the streets of historic buildings for an all-day event. Musclecars, Customs, Lowriders, Classic Cars, Hot Rods and Street Rods all vie for […]
The team at Flying Deuces did it again. Yep, another spectacular show to benefit the La Verne K9 Police Foundation. From bitchen rides to antique machinery the show is right on the main intersection in Downtown La Verne, just a tossed rod distance from the famed starting line at the In-N-Out Pomona Dragstrip. One of […]
Each year in March the Zimmerman Automobile Driving Museum in El Segundo hosts the Women N Wheels car show event. The neat thing about this show is the women are asked to dress in the era of their vehicle. Very few did that this year, although Mercifuls member Steffie Hands went all out with her […]
Recently I went to a fundraiser for St. Baldrick’s Foundation. This year the fundraiser event featured a car show for the first time. The show was hosted by the Long Beach Sultan’s Car Club. Over 100 cars showed up on the grass at the Long Beach Police Officers Park. As you will see there were […]
January is a month normally not known for car shows. Unless, you are in Southern California. We start the show season with the Mooneyes New Years Party and Drags at Irwindale Speedway just 20 miles east of Los Angeles. Earlier we shared some of the American Nostalgia West drag racing and Wes from Whittier Speed […]
I had a great time at the recent 2024 Mooneyes New Years Party and Drags at Irwindale Raceway. First thing I went to the dragstrip tower to catch up with Hot Rod Bob and met David Franklin of American West Nostalgia Drag Racing. He asked to get some footage of their cars all lined up […]

As the sun was about to set on this day, a picture perfect Southern California mid-winter day, the beasts were draggin down the strip. Only yards behind the main stage, where the beauties were on display. Yes, it’s the annual Mitzi and Co. Miss Mooneyes Pinup Contest. This year’s theme is Calendar Girls. Each lady […]

The weather was a friend this year as compared to last year’s rained out event. And what a great showing. Nearly 200 cars and no-kidding TWO LOADS of toys in the Long Beach Fire Department’s full-size truck and 20′ trailer! Thank you to all the generous people, clubs and businesses around that helped support the […]
I thought it would be fun to document the happenings of a particular year. I deleted most of the geo-political “news” of the day and went with entertainment and leisure activities. If you see anything missing, please feel free to send me a note. I finish the list off with photos I have taken of […]
