Just a reminder that this weekend Wrightwood will be the host of the 10th annual Mountain Classic Car Show. Currently there are over 200 cars pre-registered!
The event will take place in and around the center of town. The band Music Formula will be performing in town. Cars will be on display on Park and surrounding streets.
Pit Alley will be in the parking lot between the hardware store and the Wrightwood Inn. In Pit Alley there will be race cars, custom motorcycles and mirco-reality stock cars.
The band Green with NV will be performing in Pit Alley during the day on Saturday 10-3pm. If you have heard them before you know how good they are.
Friday night there is a no-host cocktail reception (adults only) from 5-7 at the Wrightwood Inn with light appetizers.
The band Green with NV will perform Friday starting at 9pm at the Inn.
Come on out and check out all of the fantastic cars on display and enjoy all the events around town this weekend.

Can't wait to see the old Jeeps.

We have over 200 cars pre-paid for the show and expect a lot more at the opening. Some are already in town.
Please support this tremendous Wrightwood event, and welcome all our guests. We hope they'll come back when there's not an event. Wrightwood is a great day trip.

RE; The old Jeeps.
I am going to be posting an announcemnt in the Around The Village section letting everyone know there will be a gathering of West Coast Willys in Wrightwood on Saturday, September 25 from 9:00 a.m., till ?
We are inviting any and all Willys & Jeeps owners to drive their vehicles to the empty lot next to Jensen's, across from the WW Minimart, where Ray has graciously allowed us to use his lot, to gather and talk and enjoy old and new Willys & Jeeps.
Please put the word out we would like to make this and annual event. Weather and fire danger permitting we are thinking of a cruise through the forrest as well.
I have spoken to some Willys owners including the owner of the 58 truck on Lone Pine and have been assured they will be attending. If you don't have the pleasure of owning a Jeep or Willys but enjoy them, stop in maybe you will find one!!! If you have questions you may reach me at 3991.
Hope to see you on Saturday Sept 25!!!

-
Too bad my Willy doesn't work anymore. ;D
-
Joe has a nice Flattie but Larry's is awesome. Carl's green pickup is cool too. It's nice to see vehiles that are actually driven at the shows.
-
(open header contest) Better to hear big a$$ AMERICAN V-8s revved up to 5K rpms sans mufflers. Makes me proud again!!! :2thumbsup:
-
Isnt' that the truth!! Gives me chills to hear those big engines roar!!
-
Is there a website for the car show? I'd like to send it to some friends or maybe the picture of the flyer.
-
I hope that Hemi-'Cuda shows up again this year. With the Shaker Hood and twin 4 barrels.
Hot Rod magazine did an article here lately about them and re-tested the horsepower rating they gave themselves back in the '60's and found they actually were putting out another 140 hp.... almost 600 hp! They were downplaying it for the insurance companies-- I guess. They sure were fast.
A rare covertible model just got over 3 million dollars at an auto auction.
-
I love the car show, too. It does bring a great many people here, and they do spend money. If people see a community pulling together and see the magnificance of Wrightwood, they will want to come back. Leo could still use some volunteers to help with parking and a few other small tasks. Please get involved in the mechanics of putting on an event of this size.
-
Volunteers!!!!!
Thanks! Leo 8-11am at the WW Inn (249-5039) and Greg 3-6pm can give you a choice of tasks and times...... from early am parking help to late afternoon barricade put away....Talk to them. Seems like it's always the same overworked people doing everything up here!......
BTW....The Mr Clean Show, Fresh off a Lukewarm performance at the Screamijng Chicken in Devore, will be extending their "One Step Ahead of the Bounty Hunter" Tour at the Main Pavillion, starting somewhere around the Crack of Noon....with special songs dedicated to the retirement of "Two Buck Chuck" and the ballads..."That's the day my wife met my girlfriend " and the everpopular "That's why I'm screwing your sister". Get there early and hear "If I only had a gun" by Dick Cheney. Before they pull the plug.
Free Tequila for the first 50 guests (Still working on this perk with the management)....But here at the Mr Clean Show, We don't sweat the small stuff.
And for those of you wondering....The Bad Habit Abbots have been fired for good this time (hopefully) and he will be accompanied by the Loose Caboose Orchestra and Choir.
Hope to see you all there!

Wow, this sure snuck up on me. I have friends who I told about it last year and they want to come up. I was thinking it was in September.
What are the hours of the car show? I don't see it here or on the Chamber website.

Anyone check it out? How is it?
-
It was fun alot of cool looking cars and trucks. Alot of money parked down town.
-
A lot of VERY impressive cars - and I'm not a car person and don't know a thing about cars, but they were fun to look at.
And of course WDPT is selling emergency kits in the bank parking lot!
-
Someone told me today that this was their favorite car show of them all, mainly because of the way the town is laidout.
Makes it easy to see all the cars. Also the good music that they didn't seem to skimp on...There were 3 bands playing.
For alot of years it was the same old cars....but this year there was aot of new blood entered and a noticeable change.
The best in show was between a '71 BarraCuda and a '64 El Camino....The El camino truck won. (The Cuda wasn't a Hemi)

What is a Hemi? (You can tell how much I know about cars.)
Sounds like I missed a great event - I was stuck at work. :( I love to look at those old cars, and it sounds as if this year's show was better than ever.

What is a Hemi? (You can tell how much I know about cars.)
Hemi is short for hemispherical head which turned out to be an almost perfect way to burn then expel the gases out of the motor due to it round shape with the spark plug between the intake and exhaust valves. It was so successful that they are still being used today in Drag Race cars, but were a semi-rare option back in the '60's and increased the value alot.
It also gave chevy people the shakes when they heard one fire up. ;D

Here's a few more. Click on them for full-size, I think the forum cuts them down a little.

Thanks for the compliment. :)
I lived up there for about five years before moving down to San Bernardino, so I lurk the boards occasionally. I finally got around to registering yesterday so I could share some of the photos from the show.
My mom posts around here pretty often too. ;)

These are very nice photographs with fresh angles and great color and dof. Looked at your Flickr site. You have great talent. Keep up with your photography....you have a gift.
