Penta Motorsports as our Santa's Toy Shop for Holiday 2016

Each year for our annual holiday gift guide, we like to feature a local customer's shop or garage as our Santa's Toy Shop setting. This year, the California Car Cover Media Team only had a short drive over to Penta Motorsports. Penta Motorsports is around the corner from California Car Cover in Canoga Park, Ca. Penta operates a full custom shop for small vehicle modifications to complete builds and restorations. Their impressive facility is home to some incredible custom muscle cars, race cars and classics. Plus, they are long time friends and customers of CCC, so they have to be a good group, right?

When our media team initially visited Penta prior to the photo shoot one particular vehicle caught our eye. Penta Motorsports has a fleet of custom Daimler and Porsche autos, but this 1965 Sunbeam Tiger MK1A was impressive. Steve Sanett, founder of Penta Motorsports, recently completed a ground up restoration of this vehicle. Under the hood is a Ford 302 with aluminum heads that has 415 hp. With its 4-speed transmission this Tiger goes 0-60 in 4.5 seconds.

Penta Motorsports facility repairs, builds and maintains a variety of automobiles for every type of enthusiast. 

To see the latest news or creations from Penta Motorsports, please visit their website. Thanks again to Steve and everyone at Penta for taking the time to assist us with this year's Santa's Toy Shop.

We have been selling Mooneyes apparel in our catalog since we started and this past weekend was the first time we had attended their annual Christmas party and car show. The event was held at Irwindale Speedway and the place was packed with cars and people. California Car Cover was on hand to talk car covers and car care with attendees. Here are some photos in case you missed it.

It was a pretty chilly morning at the speedway. There was still a huge line of vehicle waiting to get in at 6am. Once the sun came out even more people showed up to check out the race cars and show cars.

There were plenty of cars on display for anyone that loves classic cars, vintage drag racing or customs.




The stands were packed for the morning and afternoon drag sessions.

I had a lot of fun at the event and California Car Cover looks forward to being back there again next year. For all the photos from the show, please visit our Flickr Car Show Page. For more info on California Car Cover, check us out on Facebook or our main website.
