LAFD Charity Car Show: West Hills, Ca


 After a great show at California Car Cover on Saturday, we were back at it on Sunday at the LAFD Charity Car Show in West Hills, Ca. So bright and early, the CCC crew and I set up a display booth. The annual car show is for a good cause as it raises funds for widows of fallen firefighters or firefighters injured on duty.





 There were plenty of classic Chevys on display at the show. I even recognized a few of them from our Tri-Five Chevy Show on Saturday. I was happy to see a lot of Chevelle and Nova vehicles, so I was able to talk about our upcoming Nova & Chevelle event with them.

 This vehicle was the winner of the LAFD Car Show "Best in Show" award...Not really. It was the demo car that the LAFD used to demonstrate the Jaws of Life. The firefighters cut it to pieces during the show.


Plenty of trophies for the award winners.

 There was a nice crowd at the business park in West Hills, Ca.





 The award winners all lined up for photos and trophies at the end of the show.

 The real Best of Show award winner was presented with a chrome plated axe courtesy of the LAFD which was pretty cool.
Follow along with California Car Cover on our blog to see where we will be next. This coming weekend we are hosting our Chevy Nova & Chevelle Show. It is the last event of the year at California Car Cover. The following day we will be at the Pomona Swap Meet.

1955-57 Chevy Car Show at California Car Cover

Follow calcarcover on Instagram for more cool photos like this!
Throughout the year we have been hosting a variety of Saturday morning show n' shine events at CCC. The casual events have been popular with our customers and the local community.  This past Saturday was our first Tri-Five Chevy car show at California Car Cover.


 One of our event sponsors, Cal West Radiators was on hand.

 We were thrilled to see that three past catalog cover cars made it out to the event. A few of the Chevy Nomads that have been on the California Car Cover catalog cover in recent years were all in attendance.

 The event attracted a nice collection of 1955-57 Chevy automobiles from the Southern California area. Whether you liked Bel-Air sedans, Nomads or pickups the show brought them all together.

I just liked that this motorcyclist that stopped to check out the show was wearing a California Car Cover t-shirt.



 We lined up all of the Tri-Five Chevys in our parking lot.

 The Tri-Five Chevy Show would not have been possible without the support of our friends and vendors. Our vendors donated door and raffle prizes at the show. There were great donations from our friends at Battery Tender, ACME Diecast, Lloyd Mats, Classic Performance Products, Mr. Horsepower, Past Time Signs, Race Ramps, Park Smart, Shop-Vac and Sta-Dri.









 Big thanks goes out to the Ventura County Chevys and the Classic Chevys of Southern California car clubs. These clubs helped spread the word about our show and made it fun for everyone.











 Though the show was mainly sedans, Nomads and station wagons, there was still one Chevy pickup.

Thank you to everyone that came out and supported the car show. Next weekend is the last car show of the year at California Car Cover. Hopefully you can make it out to our Chevy Nova & Chevelle Show.
