2014 California Car Cover Car Show Series...Celebrating 25 Years

In 2014, California Car Cover is celebrating its 25th year in business. Back in 1989, we opened a small warehouse in Van Nuys, Ca with a handful of employees and a few racks of car covers. We have grow to become the industry leader in custom fit car covers and it all due to all of our great customers that love cars just as much as we do.

In addition to having a number of specials and promotions in our catalog to celebrate our silver anniversary, we are again hosting a Car Show Series at California Car Cover. Our events attract car enthusiasts of all makes and models to our store in Chatsworth, Ca. We already have five events on the calendar for this year and will hopefully be adding a few more if the calendar allows. We hope to see you at one (or all) of our events in 2014.

European Car Show 2013

As usual, we will be kicking off the Car Show Series with our 3rd Annual European Car Show. This event is hosted by our friends at dub-Nation.com and it always packs our parking lot with Audi, VW, and BMW enthusiasts from all over SoCal. The event will take place on Saturday, April 19th from 9am-1pm. There will be plenty of raffle prizes, local vendors and free admission for everyone.

Chevy Camaro Show

For the past few years, we have hosted an annual Chevy Camaro show, plus a Nova and Chevelle get together. This year we are combining both events and expanded the show to an all GM Muscle Car Show on Saturday, May 17th from 9am-1pm. The event will be open to all makes and models of GM muscle cars, new and old. So, whether you have an old Chevelle or a new Chevy Camaro, bring it on over to our GM muscle car event. We look forward to seeing a great group of GTOs, Firebirds, 442s, Corvettes and muhc more at our store.

Last year's Hot Rod Cruise Night

We will again be taking our summer break from shows due to the heat in SoCal. But we will be back at the end of summer for our annual 3rd Hot Rod Cruise Night on Wednesday, August 13th from 5pm-9pm. This after hours event does not really get going until sunset. This has been a very popular event in the San Fernando Valley. It includes a charity prize raffle, free admission and is open to all makes and models of custom cars. See you at 5pm at California Car Cover.

On September 20th, we will host our 6th Annual Parking Lot Sale and Swap Meet. This is the day to find huge savings on seasonal and open box merchandise from California Car Cover. The swap meet features a number of local customers, businesses and vendors looking to clean out their garages and offices. Even a few classic cars end up at our store for a few hours on this Saturday. The sale and swap is from 7am-2pm.

Sunday Morning Get Together

Nice GMC Pickup with white walls.

I was not in the area for the Supercar Sunday Marquee event last weekend, but I was in Woodland Hills yesterday morning to check out some classic cars. There wasn't the big crowd that you find at the marquee Sunday, but I still spotted some cool classics and exotics. The weather was perfect to spend a few hours with some friends and customers. Here are a few photos from the weekly get together at the Westfield Promenade. 

Clean Chevy Chevelle

Nice right hand drive Skyline

Killer 1957 Chevy with custom leather interior.

Lamborghini Miura

Whether you like new cars or old ones, SCS has something for everyone.

Check back next week as our event coverage for 2014 kicks off. The California Car Cover Crew and I will at the Pomona Swap Meet on Sunday where there is always plenty to check out. I hope to see many of our friends and customers there.

Rain or Shine at Mooneyes X-mas Party 2013

This past weekend were the final two car shows of the year for California Car Cover. On Sunday we were out at the last Pomona Swap Meet of the year, but on Saturday we were at Irwindale Speedway for the annual Mooneyes X-Mas Party. 

We have been selling Mooneyes products since we started back at 1989. The annual car show and drag race is an event that my colleagues and I look forward to each year. With drag racing, custom cars and pinup girls, Mooneyes always makes sure everyone has a great time. Even though rain put a damper on the cars and the crowd this year, there was still plenty for everyone to check out.

Before a lot of people entered the speedway I took a lap around the car show to check out all of the customs and classic cars on display. 

Even with a chance of rain there were 100's of cars lined up to get into the car show early Saturday morning. Though the long lines did cause a few cars to overheat.

Words to live by.

100's of cars were lined up on Arrow Highway well before the 6am gate opening.

There were plenty of great looking custom Chevy pickups at the show, just like this one.

There were plenty of cars already parked and ready before the sun was up.

Now that's a custom grille on the Thunderbird.

Plenty of classic VWs were at the show as well.

A motorcycle photo shoot took place across from our booth. Surprisingly, the California Car Cover Crew members and I were not asked to model.

Unfortunately, once the California Car Cover Crew and I were ready to talk car care, the rain rolled in for a few hours. Instead of a day filled with live music and drag racing, we just had to relax and try to stay dry. There were still plenty of people at the event, so we still had a great time interacting with friends and customers.

The vintage Mooneyes dragster and new Mooneyes funny car were on display.

Now that's a custom van.

Auction goodies.

The sunglasses weren't really needed on Saturday, but I was going to say anything.

The Mooneyes staff hosted a live auction for art and apparel.

The awards and pinup contest cap the event each year.

Thanks again to everyone at Mooneyes for hosting another great event. We look forward to being back there next year and hopefully we get some better weather for the drag racing.
