What an epic Saturday at Mooneyes Open House. My buddy Shiney picked me up in his awesome Model A Truck and we headed to the show. It was a great day of all kinds of cool customs and hot rods.
Customs Cruise on Colorado Blvd
The second part of Saturday was in Pasadena, CA on the world-famous Colorado Blvd. for the Customs Cruise. Now the fun thing about the Customs Cruise is it moves around. It’s always in a different location, the last one being on York Blvd.
Variety Car Show at Original Roadhouse Grill
Saturday was going to be a full day for me but in a great way because it was going to be filled with cool cars. The day started at the Variety Car Show at the Original Roadhouse Grill in Whittier.
Gas & Glaze 7-10-21
Saturday I headed over to a newish (since March 2021) show just 10 minutes from my pad in the wonderful city of Whittier. The new show is Gas & Glaze and is in the Avocado Heights area of Whittier. A fun event with some cool cars and I got to see a couple of friends there too.

Sunday morning I headed Culver City to checkout my buddy Jason’s new business. He recently opened up a Detail Garage and his first event was Rides & Coffee that morning. It was a blast.
Relaxing with Kustoms 1 Year Anniversary
Saturday after the Fountain Valley Car Show I took the slow way home up Beach Blvd. so I could checkout the Relaxing with Kustoms car show. This monthly event started 1 year ago and they were celebrating.
Fountain Valley Car Show 2021
Saturday morning was the Fountain Valley Car Show and this year was awesome. Now I have been friends with Pete, the gentlemen that runs this wonderful show, for a while. Pete has always worked hard and succeeded at putting together an awesome show every year but he is getting up there in age and has decided to pass it on to my friend Ken. Ken is no stranger to putting on shows.
Caffeine and Classics at The Container Yard
The crew from Caffeine and Classics knocked it out of the park with another wonderful show at The Container Yard in Los Angeles. Such a cool venue and a great turnout of classics, hot rods, customs and more.
Genocide Car Club 1st Annual GSide Party at the Pink Motel
Saturday afternoon I headed out to the valley, to Sun Valley, California to be exact to checkout the Genocide Car Club Car Show at the Pink Motel. Now the Pink Motel is an icon of mid-century goodness that gets used in commercials, movies and TV shows. To say I was excited to have that as a backdrop of the photos would be an understatement. It was a blast.
Aces Hot Rod Resurrection 2021
One of my favorite shows was Saturday! Saturday morning after checking out Donut Derelicts I headed over to Old World Village in Huntington Beach, CA for the annual Aces Hot Rod Resurrection. It's such a cool venue to have a car show and I do so love traditional hot rods and customs.
Early Risers: Donut Derelicts 5-22-21
It's always a good Saturday when I start it off in Huntington Beach, CA at Donut Derelicts. As usually it was packed with all kinds of fantastic cars and trucks and people and wonderful weather.
Muscles & Mojo at the Murphy Auto Museum 5-16-21
On Sunday I headed up to Oxnard for Muscles & Mojo at the Murphy Auto Museum. The turnout was good but the weather definitely kept people from bringing out their hot rods. It was still a decent turnout with some cool cars and it's always fun to walk thru the museum. Muscles & Mojo is the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month at the Murphy Auto Museum.
Customs Cruise on York Blvd.
Another unbelievable Customs Cruise! This is the second event they have had so far and it was epic. So many awesome customs and traditional hot rods along with some very cool classics and other vehicular contraptions as well. A ton of photographer friends and car friends as well.
Automobile Driving Museum’s Grand Re-Opening-Pinup Contest-Bands-Friends
On Saturday I headed over to the Automobile Driving Museum for their Grand Re-Opening and all the festivities that went along with it. Now I have already shown you all the wonderful automobiles that came out to support the museum and their Grand Re-Opening but car shows aren't just about the cars. They are about the people, both owners and enthusiasts.
Automobile Driving Museum's Grand Re-Opening-The Cars
Saturday I headed over to the Automobile Driving Museum in El Segundo, CA for their Grand Re-Opening. I got there early and caught the cars and a giant Bug rollin' in. The ADM has always been one of my favorite museums and they put on a wonderful show with cool cars, bands and a pinup contest(see tomorrow's post about that).
Frisco's Carhop Whittier Grand Opening & Cruise-In
Friday night I headed over to the new Frisco's Carhop that just opened in Whittier. I remember when there were 2 others. One was in Downey, CA and the other in City of Industry, CA. Both had car events at them regularly and I also remember when they closed. Well a new one has now opened in Whittier right on Whittier Blvd.
Iconix Car Club at Roxanne's Bar
To end my day of car show goodness after Donut Derelicts and hangin' with the Varrio Vamps Car Club I headed over to Roxanne's Bar in Long Beach for the Iconix Car Club get together. Typically when Roxanne's would have an event in the past they would stuff their small parking lot with as many cars as could fit and the rest would spill onto the surrounding area.
Varrio Vamps Car Club at Chihuahua Cerveza
Somehow I ended up 2 weekends in a row at Chihuahua Cerveza in Newport Beach and it was worth it. This time after hangin' in Huntington Beach for Donut Derelicts in the morning I headed down to Newport Beach for the Varrio Vamps Car Club get-together.
