Cars attending must be pre-registered. There is no charge for spectators. Sorry, no pets, go-peds, scooters, bicycles, skateboards, or roller blades allowed. This October show is one of the highlights of the year and all funds raised through entry, opportunity drawing, live and silent auction are used to help our veterans and active military in some way. The Volunteers for Veterans Foundation provides emergency financial assistance to veterans and active military personnel and provides specific services at the hospital. At the auction this year is a one-of-a-kind collectors tool box that has been autographed by 43 of the Custom Car Hobby’s greatest legends and master car builders will be available for bid. Those who have autographed include: Chip Foose, George Barris, Gene Winfield, Rick Dore, John D’Agostino, Rod Powell, Jack Stewart and many more. Every signature is authenticated by a photo album. This is a must have piece for collectors of Hot Rod memorabilia. The tool box will be sold to the highest bidder the day of the show. Phone bidders are welcome, after pre-qualification.
