This past weekend, the California Car Cover Crew headed down the 5 freeway for our annual stop at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. We always look forward to this weekend in sunny San Diego County. The Goodguys Meguiar's Del Mar Nationals car show attracts over 2,000 customs, classics and hot rods to the fairgrounds for three days of cruising, showing and auto-crossing. We had a great time catching up with our customers from the local area. Here are some photos from our weekend in Del Mar.
The California Car Cover pop-up shop showcases not just our covers, but plenty of other collectibles and car care products.
