2nd Annual Shepherd of the Hills Car Show

 In addition to being at the Spring Fling this past Saturday, I also spent a good portion of my day at the 2nd Annual Shepherd of the Hills Car Show. California Car Cover was a proud sponsor of the event for the second straight year. It was great to see a lot of our local friends and customers come out and support the show as well.

The show attracted plenty of classic cars and motorcycles to Porter Ranch

Awesome orange custom Mercury

The show is open to all makes and models of custom cars, so there was a nice variety of hot rods, muscle cars and custom trucks.

Shepherd of the Hills is a large church that does a lot of great things in the Los Angeles area. The car show is a charity event, but not for the church. Last year, the revenue generated from the show was used to build water wells in Africa. This year, the church will be donating all proceeds from the show to Rancho Sordo Mudo, a school in Mexico that provides a home and education to deaf and mute children.

 This 1946 Chevy pickup belongs to one of our local customers, Phil. The great looking pickup won a number of awards at the car show, including Best of Show. Glad that California Car Cover can help Phil keep it clean.

 There is plenty of parking available at the church. The large parking structure provided plenty of shade to attendees.

The main sponsor of the show was Galpin Motors. Galpin brought out a number of new and custom cars

Even a few European cars and exotics were on display

Great Cadillac convertible

Recognize this car? We featured it on one of our catalog covers back in 2009.

 A few local food trucks were on hand in case attendees needed food or drinks. There were also plenty of tables and chairs in the shade to keep everyone cool.

A great attraction at this year's show was the return of the Cackle Fest. There were a dozen nostalgia drag race cars on display. The church and its members did a great job coordinating car owners. I have grown up around drag racing, but many show attendees were not aware of how cool drag racing is. They got to see and hear what goes into drag racing first hand. They selected a great group of racing enthusiasts to put on the nostalgia display.

At the end of the day, the church distributed awards to the sponsors and lucky award winners. Show attendees voted for the winners. It was a great day at Shepherd of the Hills. Thank you to Bahram and Abe from the church for including California Car Cover in the 2013 car show.

Shepherd of the Hills Car Show

 This past Saturday was a busy day for California Car Cover. Our company was a sponsor of the 1st Annual Shepherd of the Hills Car Show in Porter Ranch, Ca. In addition, we hosted the Valley Classic Thunderbird Club at our store for a Golden Shine Car Care Seminar. We will have coverage from the seminar later this week on the blog.

 We had been working with the crew at Shepherd to promote the event and were glad to see a nice turnout of cars and people on a Saturday in the San Fernando Valley. Shepherd of the Hills is a large church in our local community and they did a great job in promoting the car show and it attracted a wide variety of cars to their property.

 Love Camaros? There will be plenty more just like this at our upcoming Camaro Car Show on Saturday, June 9th at California Car Cover.

 The Shepherd property has plenty of parking so they had room for tons of cars. The parking structure provided plenty of shade all day for car owners.

 The first floor was reserved for classic cars, muscle cars and hot rods. There were plenty of classic Fords, Chevys and many more on display. Up on the roof you could find a nice variety of classic trucks and motorcycles.

 The first floor of the parking structure was filled pretty early in the day. Once the sun came out it was the place to be to find some shade and relax with fellow auto enthusiasts.

 The highlight of the show was the vintage dragster display. The race car drivers coordinated a Cackle Fest, where they fire the engines for the crowd to watch. There was a nice variety of vintage dragsters and altereds at the event.

 Local cover band DC Overdrive performed classic rock music all day.

 Large crowds gathered to watch the vintage race cars fire their engines.

 The car show was a charity benefit for Imagine Water. All the proceeds from the show benefited the organization that aids in building wells in Africa. The show was for a good cause and brought attention to the Imagine Water project.

 Plenty of classic Chevy vehicles.

 At the end of the day, the crowd gathered in the shade as the organizers noticed the award winning cars at the show. The event was well received and we look forward to supporting the event again next year.

Check back next week for additional highlights from local shows and events.
