Surf City USA Car Show in Huntington Beach

The cars starting lining up on PCH early Sunday morning for the 2nd Annual Surf City USA Beach Cruise in Huntington Beach, Ca. Our friends at D&P Chevy in Orange County were one of the show sponsors, so we went out there yesterday to show some support.

It was a beautiful day in Southern California. A lot of cars and people filled the parking lots just behind the sand. It is a great venue to host a classic car show. Once the sun came up, so did the cars and the people.


Recognize this Nomad? It is owned by one of our customers, Kevin Spangler. It was built by D&P and was featured on the cover of our April 2011 catalog.



The show attracted a nice variety of vehicles from the Los Angeles and Orange County areas. There were quite a few red vehicles on display with some eye catching paint jobs.
There is the California Car Cover booth. I was on hand talking about car covers and our Golden Shine cleaning products.



You cannot have a car show near the beach without seeing a couple of Woodies.

Safari wagons lined up.

The show also featured an opportunity raffle and prizes for the top picks. It was a great show and we look forward to seeing the event grow next year.

SEMA 2011 Photo Highlights

Now that's a mustache.

I spent a few days at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this past week. It gives me a chance to meet customers, suppliers and interesting people who all share a passion for automobiles. California Car Cover has been into the car care industry since 1989, so we have a lot of customers at SEMA that have been with us since day 1. There was a lot to see and here are just some of my photos.

This Cadillac was very nice. It was built by Kindig-It Design out of Utah. We made a custom California Car Cover for this vehicle as it was unveiled at the SEMA show. It was built for Apolo Anton Ohno, who was the guest speaker at SEMA on Tuesday morning. Below are photos from the unveiling courtesy of Kindig-It Design.

Ford Proving Ground. The Cobra demonstration was nice, though I think my Ford Flex and I could really show people what the EcoBoost can do.

We also made a California Car Cover for the Ringbrothers 1970 Chevy Camaro that was unveiled at SEMA. It was displayed at the BASF booth. The vehicle attracted quite a bit of attention. Video of the unveiling can be seen here and is on our Flickr page too.
