On the Road with Tony DeFrank. Follow along with California Car Cover's Executive Director, Tony DeFrank, as he travels the country attending car shows from coast to coast. While not on the road, Tony will share photos from catalog photo shoots, behind the scenes news and notes, product reviews and much more right here on the official blog of California Car Cover.
Thank you to everyone that has followed the California Car Cover blog on Blogger since 2010. We have shared some cool products, visited cooler garages and photographed more amazing cars the past seven years. With the launch of the new calcarcover.com in October 2017, we are transitioning all blog posts to the new website. We hope that you will still bookmark that page as we plan to keep up what we have been doing for years to come.
Official event sponsor of the 5th Annual European Car Show.
#EURO16 was another huge success for California Car Cover and dubNation. The event continues to grow each year thanks to so many great attendees, sponsors and volunteers. It was a record year for preregistered vehicles as over 600 people signed up to attend the show and we think that many people and more brought their cars to Rancho San Antonio on March 26th. Our European Car Show took over all of the available parking at the event, so thank you to everyone who supported the show.
Bernie and I did not have much time to take photos, but here are a few of our pics from the show.
The Annual European Car Show presented by California Car Cover & dubNation attracts all makes and models of European cars.
Big thanks to one of our sponsors, Wheelie Cool Videos, for putting together this great video of the cars and people at #EURO16.
Fortunately, many of our attendees took amazing photos from the event. Thank you for posting photos to Instagram and Twitter using #EURO16. There have been 100's of photos from the show posted there and on the European Car Show event page. Here are some of our favorite photos posted online. We have done our best to make sure everyone gets photo credit for the pics.

Some of our award winners picked up a custom pinstriped beer boot courtesy of California Car Cover and a goodie bag from Wheel Whores for being selected as Top 10 winners.
Why does our Annual European Car Show keep growing? Great people, great cars and great sponsors. California Car Cover & dubNation reach out to the best names in the automotive aftermarket to support or donate products to raise money for our host, Rancho San Antonio. Our sponsor banners feature some marquee brands in the industry, such as Solowerks, AccuAir, Boden Autohaus, Wilwood Brakes, Wagner Tuning, Borla Exhaust and many others. This year we were able to raise $2600 to maintain the beautiful Rancho San Antonio campus.
EURO16 featured a few new vendors this year. Many of them supported the show by donating great prizes to the raffle. We donated all proceeds from the raffle to Rancho San Antonio. We had many new vendors this year including CSF Radiators, Rolloface and VW Audi Uber Wurx.

Some vendors of California Car Cover who could not attend the event sent donations to the show to raise money for Rancho San Antonio. Thank you to all of these great vendors who contributed door prizes and raffle items to the car show. Additionally, some great local restaurants and business donated gift cards and prize baskets to some lucky winners.

The 2016 event even featured official event t-shirts, posters and decals for the first time. Missed out? You can still pick up some of the last few in the California Car Cover eBay Store.
Thank you again to all of the great people, volunteers, donors, sponsors and vendors that made our annual European Car Show a huge success. Bernie and I definitely recognized that we cannot make this event happen without some amazing people.
