29th Roy Brizio Street Rods Open House & Car Show

The 29th Roy Brizio Street Rods Open House and Car Show took place this past Saturday at the Brizio Street Rods headquarters in San Francisco, Ca. It was the first time that my father and I had been to the event and we were thrilled that we were able to attend the show this year. We cruised up to San Francisco for the day to see a lot of great friends and hot rods. 

The show attracted a few hundred hot rod and classic car enthusiasts to the industrial area in South San Francisco. We were happy to run into a lot of friends that we usually only see at the LA Roadsters Car Show or Goodguys Pleasanton events.

The Open House let local customers and colleagues check out past, recent, and current project cars. Long time customers had their vehicles on display, plus the crew at Brizios' showed off their handy work with a number of under construction vehicles in the shop.

A highlight of the trip was a tour of the John Mumford Car Collection. This impressive collection features a lot of classic American cars and hot rods from the 1930s-1960s.

Our friends at the Classic Chevys of Southern California hosted their annual car show at the Rancho San Antonio Boys Town on Sunday. The 32nd installment of this local show attracted a record number of cars and people to the Boys Town school in Chatsworth, Ca.

California Car Cover has been a supporter of the car show for many years and our employees were on hand as usual to talk classic cars and car care with fellow enthusiasts.

The model car show and contest always brings out a lot of people. Tables were filled with scale replica featuring custom paint and details. 

The crowd lined up to get their complimentary vehicle photo.

The club organized a large prize raffle with proceeds going to Rancho San Antonio Boys Town. Many of the students at Boys Town assist at the car show too.

Thank you to everyone on the car show community for having California Car Cover be part of the show for another year. We look forward to an even bigger and better show in 2015.
