Los Angeles Fire Department Car Show in West Hills, Ca

It was a busy weekend for the California Car Cover Crew and me. Besides the California Car Cover Chevy Car Show and the Valley Relics grand opening on Saturday, our friends at the LAFD in West Hills hosted their annual car show on Sunday. The event is hosted in a business park in West Hills right across from the fire station.

 The show attracts a nice mix of classics and hot rods from all over the Los Angeles area. Proceeds from the event are donated to the Firemen's Fund which provides assistance to families of injured or fallen firefighters.

 The Los Angeles Fire Department Car Show always attracts a variety of vintage fire engines like this one.

 The show features many demonstrations put on by the LAFD. There is a Jaws Of Life demo so everyone is able to see what it takes to extract people from a car accident. The fire fighters also did rescue demos like the one above.

Thanks to everyone at LAFD Station 106 for the hospitality and for hosting another great car show. We look forward to another fine event next year.

LAFD Charity Car Show: West Hills, Ca

 After a great show at California Car Cover on Saturday, we were back at it on Sunday at the LAFD Charity Car Show in West Hills, Ca. So bright and early, the CCC crew and I set up a display booth. The annual car show is for a good cause as it raises funds for widows of fallen firefighters or firefighters injured on duty.

 There were plenty of classic Chevys on display at the show. I even recognized a few of them from our Tri-Five Chevy Show on Saturday. I was happy to see a lot of Chevelle and Nova vehicles, so I was able to talk about our upcoming Nova & Chevelle event with them.

 This vehicle was the winner of the LAFD Car Show "Best in Show" award...Not really. It was the demo car that the LAFD used to demonstrate the Jaws of Life. The firefighters cut it to pieces during the show.

Plenty of trophies for the award winners.

 There was a nice crowd at the business park in West Hills, Ca.

 The award winners all lined up for photos and trophies at the end of the show.

 The real Best of Show award winner was presented with a chrome plated axe courtesy of the LAFD which was pretty cool.
