March 28th: A Rainy Super Car Sunday

Some wet weather has been plaguing West Coast car shows of late and the most recent Super Car Sunday met the same fate. Everyone was looking forward to having a large collection of Ferrari automobiles at the show, but morning drizzle kept a lot of the cars and people away.

Even with the poor weather, a number of enthusiasts drove out their automobiles for a cup of coffee and some socializing. There was still a great variety of classics and exotics that SCS has become known for hosting.






The next Super Car Sunday is set for Sunday, April 24th. Stop by and see the guys from California Car Cover there.

Super Car Sunday & The Early Times Poker Run

Super Car Sunday:
2/27 The last Sunday in February meant SCS at the Woodland Hills Promenade. Though it was pretty cold in the morning, once the sun came out, so did the cars. Here are some photos. Hopefully we'll see you out there at the end of March.
Comedian Jeff Dunham brought out his Batmobile.
Why has Super Car Sunday become so popular? You see a great mix of new and old, American and European, hot rods and exotics, all in one parking lot.


From Super Car Sunday, we had to hustle back to California Car Cover to meet with up with the Early Times Car Club. The club included us as one of the stops along their annual Poker Run. About 50 club members and quite a few members stopped by to visit our showroom and sample some of our Golden Shine Car Care Products.

Welcome Home

You will find a lot of classic Ford Mustang automobiles cruising the streets of Southern California, but I do not think many of them have as great a story as this one.
Jack Klunder, a friend and customer from So Cal, owned this car back in 1974. His father had purchased this used 1966 Ford Mustang for him as a way to get around town while he was in college. One night at school in 1974, the Mustang was stolen from a campus parking lot.
Evidently, the car was stolen as part of a local theft ring. In fact, 60 vehicles were stolen that night. The CHP officers took all of Jack's details and told him that they would call him if the vehicle ever turned up. Jack was heartbroken. Even though the Mustang was stolen, Jack remained a Mustang lover. He owns a newer Mustang and even bought his daughters Mustangs when they were able to drive.
Then late in 2009, 35 years later, the CHP finally returned that phone call to tell him the Mustang had been located. A person who had bought the vehicle in the meantime noticed that the VIN numbers did not match the documentation and contacted the CHP. That is when the CHP contacted the Klunder residence.
Since 2009, the car has been given a complete restoration to bring it back to its 1966 appearance. Dan Veltkamp of Auto-B-Craft did the restoration work and this Mustang sure does look great.
We are gratefully to share such an amazing story with our customers. Thank you to Jack for taking the time to bring this vehicle over to our studio for our March 2010 California Car Cover catalog shoot.

Grand National Roadster Show & Super Car Sunday

We had another event filled few days to end the month. The last weekend of January had members of the California Car Cover crew at 3 different locations in California. There was an annual swap meet in Turlock, Ca that our company has been attending for many years. The largest event of the weekend was the Grand National Roadster Show. This event draws tons of people from around the world and brings some of the finest automobiles to the So Cal area. Lastly, the last Sunday of the month always means Super Car Sunday in Woodland Hills, Ca. Here are some photo highlights.
