33 Coupe Having Fun 10       8/9/13

One of my favorite places to be is in the mountains, and this last show that we attended was held in Oak Glen, CA. which is located in a remote part of the San Bernardino National Forest. To give you a little history about this place, Oak Glen is known for their world famous apples (the elevation is above 4000 feet) and there are many orchards in and around this small community. Apple season runs from Labor Day through Thanksgiving, just in case you're wondering. Another nice thing about Oak Glen is that it doesn't get as hot at this higher elevation which is a good thing because in July and August, the temps can be down right brutal where we would normally have a show.

The event was held at Law's Coffee Shop and it was their 7th. annual that was held on July 27th. The show ran from 7 am to 3 pm but to get a good parking spot you better get their early. We arrived before six and had a spot all picked out from last year but that area was reserved for someone else so we parked in the front this time.

Law's Coffee Shop is famous for their apple pies and if you ever get a chance to stop by you won't be disappointed. The food at Law's is very good too and I highly recommend their club sandwich and split pea soup. Speaking of eating, they had a killer buffet breakfast (every Saturday) that goes till 11:00 am and then they switch over to their lunch menu.

The show also had a DJ from 99.9 KOLA radio named Vic Slick that played old school Rock & Roll all day. The show is free for spectators and our entry got us an event T-shirt, goodie bag, a discount coupon for Law's and a dash plaque. They also had a nice raffle tables, one for the kids and the other for everyone else.

There were about 120 cars, trucks and bikes this year which made for a good turnout. Let's take a look at some of the hot rods that made this years show.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These C1 Corvettes sure do look good and I'd love to own one someday.
 

 

 

This would be a great view from my garage!
