The town of Seal Beach, California has been holding this weekend long car show for nearly a quarter century! In that space of time, lots of stuff has changed, and in many ways for the worse. What has not though is the seemingly bred-in mentality amongst car guys and girls that getting out on the road in their car is super important. This car show draws a claimed 20,000 people to the smaee town each year and more than 500 cars. 

It is pretty cool to see a town embracing an event like this as a boon to their community. Often times we read about shows being displaced or events losing their venue. For nearly a quarter century Seal Beach, California has backed this event, and judging by the photos and reports back, there’s at least another 24 years to go!
