High Powered Cadillac Vehicles from our September Catalog


Our September catalog photo shoot featured some high performance Cadillac vehicles owned by a pair of our local customers.  It had been a few years since California Car Cover had some Cadillacs on the cover, so I was glad that the car owners and I were able to coordinate a photo shoot.






 

These Cadillac coupes might appear subtle at first glance, but they are producing over 1100 combined horsepower. Each vehicle has performance upgrades, but retain the luxury details that Cadillac has always been known for having.


 The 1949 Cadillac Coupe DeVille belongs to local customer Scott Fraser. The multi-year restoration includes a Morrison chassis, custom leather interior and a subtle roof chop. It is finished with deep black paint and large billet aluminum wheels.


 J.V. Enterprises handled the paint and bodywork on the Coupe DeVille.

 Underneath the motorized lift hood is a 502 cubic inch engine that puts over 55 horsepower. This large coupe can definitely get up and go on the highway.
The black leather interior wraps the dashboard and the extended center console.


 The CTS-V Coupe belongs to local customer and Hennessey Performance West Coast Sales Manager, Ken Goldman. The stock CTS-V Coupe has plenty of horsepower for most drivers, but Hennessey gave it even more upgrades.


 The HPE600 upgrades lowers the 0-60 time to 3.7 seconds. The HPE600 improves performance with a pulley upgrade and cold air intake. More information on the Hennessey upgrade can be viewed on their website.
 Our friends at Lloyd Mats made a custom set of floor mats for the CTS-V Coupe with the Cadillac script and emblem logos.

Big thanks to Scott and Ken for coming out to our photo shoot. We had a great time and hope that all of our customers enjoyed seeing some fine Cadillacs.

Summer Cruise Night at California Car Cover


Last night was our 2nd Annual Summer Cruise Night at California Car Cover. A lot of local customers and friends brought out their classic cars and hot rods to hang out at our store for a few hours.










Our Cruise Night was open to any make or model of custom car. The show attracted mostly classic American cars, but there were plenty of great vehicles at our facility on Wednesday night.


A few classic car owners had to arrive early in the day to make sure they had a shady spot on the lawn as the sun went down.






 A recently finished 1954 Chevy Club Coupe was brought over by one of our local customers.


It was a warm night in Chatsworth, but once the sun started to go down it turned out to a be a great evening in the Valley.

Our friends around the corner at ICON brought over a few of their recent project vehicles. This Dodge pickup and a FJ Series. Thank you to the guys for bringing out these cool vehicles to our show.



One of our local customers even brought over his brand new Chevy COPO Camaro. This factory race car had to be trailed over since it is not street legal and attracted quite a crowd all night.

 At the end of the night we gave out a lot of raffle prizes to some lucky raffle winners. Our event sponsors all donated some great prizes for show attendees. A big thank you goes out to Race Ramps, Crosley, Mr. Horsepower, Metro Vac, Super Car Collectibles, Shop Vac, David Carey Apparel, ACME Diecast, and Introtech Automotive for all donating raffle prizes.

Proceeds from the raffle were donated to Friends and Helpers, a local charity that supports the families of abuse victims. 

The show also had great door prizes from our friends at Glass Master, Park Smart, Weathertech, Cartech, Louver Art, Pasttime Signs, Fairfield Collectibles and Goboxes.
