Major Classic car show organizers like Good Guys, Pacific Coast Dream Machines Show, Kool April Nites and Concours are once again starring in this year’s calendar. International auto shows are once again scheduled for LA and San Jose, the Silicon Valley International Auto Show and the Los Angeles Auto Show are providing a look at some of the concept cars from Ford, GM, and Toyota as well as the future in electric vehicles.
We can also look forward to major auctions like Russo and Steele letting us dream of being among the bidders for some of the hottest cars to grace a show room floor. Filling in the gaps from the major shows are smaller, community, high school and city chamber based car show that give us events to check out all over the state.
