Cars Cars Cars ! Vintage cars, Classic Cars and even some brand new cars !

It is always great when Family visits because you get to show them around and you do a lot more sightseeing in LA than you probably would do otherwise. 

So a week ago I decided to take my parents to Bob's Big Boy in Burbank mainly due to the fact that on Friday evenings they have a huge car show in their carpark. My dad is a huge car enthusiast and I knew this was just up his alley. This is the place that you will find classic car lovers from all over LA gathering to show off their ride and what is under their hood. You may get lucky and may even see Jay Leno passing though with one of the many classic cars he owns.

I actually took a few minutes to walk around and I saw some of the classics. There were a few of the older ones such as an Old Ford and a 1960's Pontiac Firebird shown below.





For Father Day we drove through Hollywood and then made our way over to Beverly Hills and to our surprise there was another car show. This one I didn't know about but then we found out that every year for Fathers Day Rodeo Drive closes the street and they host their annual RODEO DRIVE CONCOURS D'ELEGANCE. You can find every classic and luxury automobile lining the streets. The show opened with the Famous Wells Fargo wagon and then continued to showcase rare and spectacular examples of cars that have graced the streets of Beverly Hills over the past century. Some of these included the famous and very old Beverly Hillbillies Wagon from 1924, 1968 Ford Mustang GT Bullitt and a 1960's AC Cobra and last but not least my dream car, the 2015 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500.




The cars were labelled with the names and year, and these ranged from 1901 to 2015 . They were all in immaculate condition, and are obviously the " pride and joy " of their owners. They had also been judged, and several had the different ribbons denoting their placement.

The best part about the weekend was the fact that my dad said he had a great time and enjoyed the car shows the most. At that point I knew my job was done !

Stay tuned for more exciting reviews about the events I attend with my friends over the next few weeks ! 
 
Bye for now. Vroom Vroom !
