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.

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.

Valley Relics Museum's Grand Opening Party in Chatsworth

The Valley Relics Museum opened up around the corner from California Car Cover this past Saturday. The grand opening party featured a car show, live music and the first chance to check out its collection of San Fernando Valley heritage. The party kicked off at 1230pm, so once I wrapped up our car show I cruised over there.

The Valley Relics Museum contains a lot of history on the San Fernando Valley. Everything that has made the valley what it is, is on display at the museum. Plenty of vintage maps and photos of the changing SFV landscape, plus signs from popular stores and restaurants of the past.

The vehicles of valley western wear legend, Nudie, are on display front and center. You can't miss the pistol and rifle adorned vehicles.

The collection of restaurant signs was probably my favorite part of the place. I remembered many of the restaurants and bars since I have grown up in the valley as well.

 There is a room full of western wear and movie memorabilia. Since so many westerns were shot in the valley and many actors called the valley home, it showcases many of the popular movie posters, celebrity photos and much more.

Big thanks to everyone at the Valley Relics Museum for the hospitality. The museum will be open on Saturdays, so anytime you are in Chatsworth be sure to check it out. Of course, we wouldn't might if you made a stop at California Car Cover too while you are out this way.

Classic Chevy Car Show at California Car Cover

1965 Chevy Impala. A past catalog cover car.

California Car Cover's last car show for 2013 took place this past Saturday. We held our annual classic Chevy Car Show at our store. The event attracted a nice group of classic, hot rods and muscle cars to our facility for a great morning in southern California.

Our friends from the Classic Chevy Club brought out a large group of 1955-57 Chevys.

This was the last event of the California Car Cover 2013 Car Show Series. Our free events are great for car owners and local customers. We always have good music, local food vendors and awesome raffle prizes. All of the prize we distributed are donated from our show sponsors. Many of our vendors, donated great prizes to all of the events at California Car Cover this year, which we are greatly appreciative.

 At every show, we select a charity to which we can donate the raffle money. The proceeds from the Classic Chevy Show will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project. This year, show attendees helped us raise nearly $1,000 for local charities.
