2017 Car Show Calendar at California Car Cover

Our 2017 car show schedule for California Car Cover is here. Each year we try to bring our local friends and customers unique ways to get together and grow the classic car community. This year we have some new events to get more people an opportunity to meet and hang out with us at our headquarters in Chatsworth, Ca.

For the past few years, we have had specific car shows on a handful of Saturdays at our store. We've had classic Ford days, muscle car day or Camaro day to name a few. Instead of those marquee days of the past, this year we will host Saturday Socials. These will be casual "Cars & Coffee" type get-togethers on select Saturdays this spring-fall. The free events will be low key social hours to meet with like minded men and women who are passionate about their cars, no matter what they drive. The events are open to all makes and models of new or classic cars.

2017 Social Saturdays Schedule

Saturday, March 4th 8am-11am
Saturday, April 29th 8am-11am
Saturday, June 10th 8am-11am
Saturday, July 22nd 8am-11am

We will host coffee and donuts in the morning, plus see what type of special cars or guests we can get to show up for each social. More details on each event will be posted to the California Car Cover Facebook page.

The largest event we host each year has become the annual European car show. This event attracts late model European cars from all over California to Rancho San Antonio in Chatsworth, Ca. We host this event along with Bernie Chacon, of dubNation Events. Last year, we had over 600 cars in attendance and look to make the event bigger and better in 2017. EURO17, as it is called, is a charity fundraiser for our friends at Rancho San Antonio, a nonprofit group, around the corner from California Car Cover. Complete details about this event will be posted to eurocarshow.us.

Wednesday, August 16th will be our 6th Annual Summer Cruise Night. When the suns goes down, cruise over to California Car Cover for our yearly parking lot party. The free show is open to all makes and models of custom cars. We always have a live band and local vendors. Last year, we packed the house, so expect a good time with friends, classic cars and rock n roll.

The last Saturday Social of 2017 will coincide with our 9th Annual Parking Lot Sale. Each year, we empty the warehouse to make room for seasonal and holiday merchandise. It's a great chance to save money of open box, old stock and closeout merchandise. Mark your calendars if you need to stock up on car covers and garage items. Always a local customer favorite!

The final event of the California Car Cover Show Series was the Parking Lot Sale, Swap Meet and Show this past Saturday. This free event is a casual get together for local friends and customers and wraps up the shows we host for 2016.

The main attraction for the day is our annual parking lot sale. We have to make room for holiday merchandise each fall, so we empty our warehouse of open box, seasonal and discontinued items. Our 8th annual event did not disappoint any local customers looking for some great savings.

Another big draw for the Parking Lot Sale is the California Car Cover show trailer. The trailer is packed with old stock and open box car covers that we discount at the sale.

We had a handful of local customers participate in our swap meet.

The Mel-Tones played blues and classic rock songs during the show for the enjoyment of local customers.

 

The Habit Burger Truck was on hand to serve tasty burgers and onion rings to show participants and customers.

Each car show we host always has a great charity raffle. The Fall Car Show did not disappoint with many great prizes available thanks to our sponsors. All the proceeds from the raffle were donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Thank you to everyone that attended the parking lot sale, swap meet and show at California Car Cover. We look forward to hosting another great series of events in 2017. We will announce those event dates by January 2017.

8th Annual California Car Cover Parking Lot Sale is Just a Few Weeks Away

On Saturday, October 8th California Car Cover will host our 8th Annual Parking Lot Sale and Swap Meet. It is a great opportunity to save money on open box car covers, seasonal merchandise and discontinued items at our headquarters in Chatsworth, Ca.

As always, we will have a local customer and business swap meet during the sale. Stop by and see what our friends and local customers dig out of their garages. The parking lot sale and swap meet is from 7am-12pm. For more information about the swap meet, please contact Steve at California Car Cover.

Something new for this year to make the Sale and Swap bigger and better is the addition of a car show as part of the event. "For the past few years we have held our Parking Lot Sale and Classic GM Car Show on back to back weekends," said California Car Cover's Tony DeFrank. "Unfortunately, we have so many other weekend event and show commitments this fall we had to combine the events into one Saturday. We think hosting a car show, swap meet and parking lot sale on the same day will make it a pretty unique event for California Car Cover and our customers."

The car show will be from 9am-2pm at California Car Cover. It is open to all makes and models of custom cars and classics. The show is free to participate, but parking is limited at California Car Cover. Like all of the car shows at California Car Cover, there will be a charity prize raffle and a detailing seminar courtesy of eco-shine auto reconditioning.

5th Annual Parking Lot Sale & Parts Exchange at California Car Cover

Our 5th Annual Parking Lot Sale and Parts Exchange took place this past Saturday. Each year we pull out a lot of our seasonal, open box or discontinued merchandise and set up a great one day sale for our local customers.

In addition, a handful of local customers participate by hosting a parts exchange in our parking lot where local enthusiasts and gearheads can swap parts and talk cars.

The parking lot sale is not an official car show at California Car Cover, but a lot of our local customers drive over their classic cars or hot rods each year. Here are photos of a few of the classics at our store this past Saturday.

If you were in the market for some folding chairs, collectible signs, front end bras or billet grilles, our sale was the place for you. We had pallets of merchandise up for sale. I don't know where we keep finding all of this stuff in our warehouse!

We had a few local customers set up in the parts exchange. There was plenty of car parts, automotive art and much more to check out.

Thank you to everyone that braved the heat and participated in this year's parking lot sale and parts exchange. We look forward to hosting the event again next year at California Car Cover.
