Classic Chevy Show and Greystone Mansion Concours 2012

 Early Sunday morning it was off to Rancho San Antonio for the Annual Classic Chevy Club of Southern California Car Show. Rancho San Antonio is in Chatsworth, right around the corner from our store. When I cruised over to the show there was already a line down the street of cars waiting to enter.

 The club has been a long time supporter of our company and events, so our staff was on hand to talk car covers and car care.

 It was a beautiful day in Chatsworth and the event drew plenty of classic cars from all over Southern California. Though it was the annual Classic Chevy car show, there were still plenty of other makes and models on display.

 While the crew was working at the Classic Chevy Show at Rancho San Antonio I headed over the hill to check out the Greystone Mansion Concours. I have been to the show the last few years and it keeps getting better.

 The Greystone Mansion is a unique setting for a classic car show. The property has plenty of lawns, ponds and turtles. The mansion is located in Beverly Hills. During the show, visitors can take a tour of the mansion which has been used in numerous television shows and movies. It was the residence of the Doheny family many years ago before being taken over by the city.

 Inside the house was a nice display of vintage bicycles. There were quite a few makes that I had not heard of before.
