September 16th Saturday Social at California Car Cover

This past Saturday was the September edition of our increasingly popular Saturday Social events. Our take on the Cars and Coffee morning car shows attracts a number of hot rods, cool customs and classics to California Car Cover.

Local customers and friends cruise over to CCC from 8am-11am on select Saturdays. The events are free to attend and open to all makes of custom cars. We host the coffee and donuts and our customers bring out the eye candy. Each event features a prize raffle with proceeds benefiting a local charity.

Each Saturday Social, our showroom associate, Brandon, picks a favorite car from the crowd. Dubbed "Slick's Pick, the lucky winner takes home one of our Golden Shine Quick Shine combo packs. Saturday's winner was this clean, original 1962 Ford Thunderbird.

Thank you to everyone who cruised over this past weekend. We look forward to seeing everyone at our last Saturday Social of the season on Saturday, October 7th. It is also the same day as our annual Parking Lot Sale and Swap Meet so it should be a fun morning at California Car Cover.

June 10th Saturday Social Cars and Coffee Meet at California Car Cover

Our 3rd Saturday Social of the year was held on Saturday, June 10th at California Car Cover. A few of our local customers cruised over for our take on Cars and Coffee for a few hours to socialize with fellow auto enthusiasts. Here are a few photos from Saturday morning.

Thank you to everyone that showed up at today's Saturday Social. Our prize raffle helped us raise a few dollars for local charity and have some fun in the process. We hope to see more cars and people at the July 22nd edition.

LA Air Cooled Volkswagen Club Show and Shine Car Show 2017

This passed Saturday was a new event at California Car Cover. Our friends at the LA Aircooled Volkswagen Club were looking for a place to have an inaugural show and shine car show. Our facility was available this past weekend, so we let a group of classic VW owners take over our parking lot and lawn for a few hours to host the Seis De Mayo Car Show.

Classic Beetles and buses started arriving early at CCC well before the 8am roll in time. Attendees were greeted with goodie bags and donuts courtest of LA Air Cooled.

The south side parking lot was filled early in the morning with some classic VWs.

The team from Hot Rod LA was on hand doing live screen printing of the event tees and sweatshirts. 

Richeeze Grilled Cheese Truck served up lunch all day to enthusiasts.

Official event tees screened by Hot Rod LA.

The front lawn was home to a few nicely restored, maintained and customized VW buses and Beetles.

LA Aircooled even had custom made trophies for a variety of categories at the show.

 Thank you to Kurt and everyone at LA Aircooled for hosting a great event at California Car Cover. Our customers really enjoyed seeing the custom and restored VWs at our store. Hopefully, there will be some bigger and better events in the future together.

#EURO17 our 6th Annual European Car Show with dubNation

 This past Saturday was #EURO17. It is our annual European Car Show hosted with dubNation Events to raise some money for our friends at Rancho San Antonio. This year was another huge success with some amazing cars, great sponsors and a record raffle collection for RSA. Thank you to everyone who supported and attended our 6th annual event.

The main show field was filled with plenty of late model European cars early in the morning. 

 Our friends at Borla were a sponsor this year and brought out some cool cars to feature in their booth. They were also able to take some photos at the show too.

The big draw at the #EURO17 was the charity prize raffle. Bernie and our team works seemingly year round to reach out to the best aftermarket companies to contribute to our raffle. There are always amazing prizes from the top accessory companies in the business. We also reach out to local businesses, restaurants and entertainment venues. We could not host an event like #EURO17 without such amazing support. We had some many prizes this year, we had to have two separate raffles, so people didn't melt in the sun while listening to raffle #s being called. Here are some of the great companies that donated prizes to our raffle.

Thank you to all of these amazing prize donors!

Yoshi and Neutrale Wheels were a new event supporter in 2017. Glad they were able to display cars and wheels at the show.

Gaphix design haus showed off some of their custom seat belt creations.

Solo Werks has been with our European Car Show since day one. Glad to have their support year after year. 

The team at Rolloface was back in 2017 showing off some of their style and performance products.

Thank you to everyone for supporting #EURO17. Bernie and I couldn't do it without such amazing sponsors, vendors, attendees and volunteers. The "Orange Team" did a fantastic job last weekend. We were able to raise $4200 for Rancho San Antonio. We have already started talks for #EURO18, so stay tuned...

 Here are some of our favorite photos from #EURO17 that attendee's shared on Facebook. If you share photos from #EURO17 with us on Facebook, we will add them to the post!
