Pomona Swap Meet: January 2013

This past weekend was the first show of the year for California Car Cover at the world famous Pomona Swap Meet. It was a cold day for the CCC Crew, but we had a good time. Once the sun came out, so did the crowd.

The early morning is all about cruising into the show. Since California Car Cover is right on the main aisle it is easy to see all the different classic cars that show up at the swap meet. Everyone has their own unique way to cruise.

The swap meet attracts people from all over the world who are looking for that hard to find part or just want to show off their car on a Sunday morning. There are always tons of muscle cars and hot rods on display.

 If you are looking to buy or sell a classic car in Southern California, we always tell people that the Pomona Swap Meet should be your first stop. You will see classics that are fully restored or need a full restoration.

I didn't get a chance to cruise much of the swap meet looking for car parts, but I walked passed a booth with a ton of odd toys. You will never know what you will find at the Pomona Swap Meet.
Around noon the cars started to leave the swap meet. It is a great opportunity to see a lot of the cars you might have been missed out in the parking lots. There are always some unique automobiles.

January 2013: 1965 Superformance Shelby Cobra

The first California Car Cover catalog of 2013 features a 1965 Superformance Shelby Cobra on the front cover. This beautiful sports car belongs to one of our local customers.

 Though it is not an original Cobra, this Superformance model is a great sports car and excellent driver. The Superformance editions of the famed Shelby Cobra are the only replicas officially licensed by Carroll Shelby because of the Superformance attention to detail.

The Superformance model features all of the accurate details of the original Shelby, including correct gauges.

The Cobra features a 427 under the hood and the signature Shelby blue paint with white racing stripes. This roadster has all the authentic details of an original.

 This Cobra received the signature Carroll Shelby autograph on the dashboard.

 We took some photos of the Cobra featured one of our custom fit California Car Cover interior covers. These are pretty popular with open roadsters that have limited storage space. When an entire custom car cover cannot go on the road with you, an interior cover is a great way to keep the interior protected from the sun and rain.

 We put together some photo collages from the photo shoot on Instagram. We think they turned out pretty cool.
