Friday evening and into the night there are a few shop open houses during the Ventura Nationals Weekend.

Ed “Isky” Iskederian, The Camfather & founder of Isky Racing Cams turned 102 year’s young on Monday, July 10th. Saturday at the Lions Automobilia Museum they through him a big party with friends, family and fans.

One of my favorite events every year is the Mooneyes Open House. It’s always a fantastic event with so many cool cars and lots of friends.

Cambra Speed Shop has had shows in the past at their place but this is the first one that they have shut the street down for and it was a great success

A fantastic way to spend a Saturday checking out cool cars in sunny Southern California. Well finally sunny, it’s been gray and overcast in SoCal for months and finally we got some sun for the LA Roadster Show. Now in it’s 57th year.

Saturday was a blast for this year’s Chopped & Dropped put on by Nosed & Decked at Roxannes Bar in Long Beach. Now I may be a little bias as Wade, owner of Nosed & Decked, is a great friend but I can’t deny that for the second show it was a great turnout and a whole lot of fun.

Sunday I headed over to Hart Park in Orange, California for the Annual Model A Pancake Breakfast put on by the Orange County Model A Ford Club.

Welp I haven’t done 1 show in a day for awhile why not 2. On Saturday evening after the Aces Hot Rod Resurrection show I headed over to San Pedro for Customs Cruise.

It’s been awhile since I have been to a car show. I’ve been working on a long term project that I should be able to tell you about in the next couple of months but I knew I wasn’t going to miss the Aces Hot Rod Resurrection show. It happens at Old World Village in Huntington Beach, CA and is always a blast.

A show I try to never miss is the Lost Souls Get Down. Put on by the Lost Souls Car Club, it all goes down at a park in San Pedro, CA.

One of my favorite things to do at the Grand National Roadster Show is to hang out after the sun sets to get some fun photos around the event.

Saturday and Sunday is the Grand Cruise-In at the Grand National Roadster Show.

One of my favorite buildings at the Grand National Roadster Show each year is the Suede Palace.

The buildings at the Fairplex in Pomona, California are always filled with so much automotive goodness for the Grand National Roadster Show.

Each year the Grand National Roadster Show has a theme building. This year it was trucks and vans.

Just a little over a week ago this fantastic hot rod made its debut at the Grand National Roadster Show. This car was definitely the talk of the show as well as on social media.

So typically every year Rodshows has a press conference on Friday before the Grand National Roadster Show begins.

Started in 1974 by Al Slonaker the founder of the Grand National Roadster Show, the Al Slonaker Memorial Award is awarded ever year for the non-roadster hot rods. Each year the caliber of cars is excellent and this year was no different.

This year’s winner of the AMBR award was "The Champ Deuce,” Jack Chisenhall's owner-built 1932 Ford Roadster.

Great weather, awesome cars, drag racing and a whole lot of friends. What a fantastic Mooneyes New Year’s Party for 2023.
