1956 Chrysler New Yorker St. Regis from our Holiday Catalog

Our second holiday gift guide of 2015 featured a unique 1956 Chrysler New Yorker St. Regis. The tri-color paint scheme of this Chrysler caught my eye at a car show earlier this year in Los Angeles and I thought it would be a cool car to feature in our catalog. Fortunately for me, the owner, Jim McLeod, is a prior customer of California Car Cover and willing to participate in a photo shoot.

Jim oversaw the restoration of the New Yorker back to its original style. The interior was upgraded to a newer tuck & roll style, but it matches the stock pattern design. We think this Chrysler has the right mix of classic and California style.

Thank you to Jim for participating in our holiday cover shoot for 2015. Below is the finished product if you did not receive your copy in the mail this season.

1962 Cadillac Coupe de Ville "Santa's Sled"

Our first holiday catalog of the year is just hitting mailboxes, so it is time to share some extra photos of the Cadillac from our Santa's Sled California Car Cover catalog cover.

I spotted this Cadillac at a local car show last year and was thrilled when I found out that the owner, Frank Ortega, was already a California Car Cover customer. I told Frank that I love 60's era Cadillacs and would love to feature the Coupe de Ville on a future catalog.

The Cadillac has a been given subtle exterior modifications, such as the nosed hood and decked trunk lid.

The Coupe de Ville features Cadillac wire wheels and Coker white wall tires.

The Cadillac has all white interior, plus a Cadillac record player.

While the exterior has candy paint and custom details, the original 390 engine is under the hood.

The candy red paint with pearl really pops in the sun.

Frank's 1962 Cadillac Coupe de Ville has a nice stance and the right mix of original and custom touches. 

Thank you to Frank Ortega for taking the time to participate in one of our holiday catalog photo shoots. Check back next month for future photo shoots from California Car Cover.

1967 Chevy Nova From Our November Catalog

We traditionally select red or green vehicles to feature on the November and December catalog covers to maintain a Christmas feel. I was at a local show looking for a cool, red vehicle for one of the California Car Cover catalogs when I came across a very cool 1967 Chevy Nova. I have been a big fan of the Chevy Nova for many years and have one at home in my garage, though it is not as trick as this one.
The car owner, Ricky Woolstenhulme, and I began talking and scheduled a time for him to bring the car over to the studio. I thought the Viper Red paint would look great on our catalog cover. I was glad that we could fit the photo shoot into his schedule as he is on the road quite a bit. Ricky plays drums in the rock band Lifehouse and is often on tour.
Here are some of the photos from the time at our studio. The Chevy Nova has a small block Chevy engine, Ride Tech air ride, Viper Red paint and large Billet Specialties wheels.

Thank you to Ricky for stopping by the studio with the Nova. For more photos of this vehicle, and all the vehicles featured on our holiday catalogs, please see our Facebook or Flickr page.
