Rows of vintage rolling art filled the lawn in downtown Long Beach, carefully organized by make, model, and year by the show organizers to provide the best experience for both participants and spectators.

The show is thoughtfully curated, with each vehicle required to submit a mandatory photo and a fully documented build sheet ahead of the event for acceptance. Once selected, show participants can have their vehicles judged in various categories and compete for top awards.

There were racecars, drift builds, trucks, and even motorcycles on display. All amazing vintage cars covered the fields of Long Beach, surrounded by attendees and car photographers throughout the event. The vehicles were outfitted with custom rims, upgraded engines, vintage stereo systems, the likes of which I’ve never seen.

All vehicles displayed at the show were required to be built before 1995. This wide range of cars caters to every type of car lover. From completely custom builds or barn find survivors, this is an event you won’t want to miss next year. Full details of the event are below.
