Get ready to cruise down memory lane at the Veterans Day Classic Car Show in Corona, California! This isn’t your average car meet-up – it’s a full-blown celebration of vintage vehicles, American heroes, and good old-fashioned family fun.
When and Where?
Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 9, 2024, from 10 AM to 1 PM. The show will be at Crossings at Corona, 2470 Tuscany Street, Corona, CA 92881. It’s right off the I-15 at Cajalco, so you can’t miss it!
A Blast From the Past
If you’re a fan of cars with character, you’re in for a treat. This show is all about pre-1980 classics, featuring an impressive lineup of hot rods, kustoms, and lowriders. It’s like stepping into a time machine without worrying about messing up the space-time continuum.
Picture rows of gleaming chrome, candy-colored paint jobs, and engines that purr like contented cats. These aren’t just cars; they’re rolling works of art that tell stories of bygone eras. Each vehicle is a testament to the skill, passion, and sometimes questionable fashion choices of its time.
More Than Just Cars
Now, if you’re thinking, “But I don’t know a carburetor from a carrot,” don’t worry! This event isn’t just for gearheads. The organizers have pulled out all the stops to make sure there’s something for everyone in the family.
For the Kids (and Kids at Heart):
- Face painting: Turn your little ones into tigers, butterflies, or tiny mechanics.
- Balloon artist: Watch in awe as ordinary balloons transform into extraordinary creations.
- Petting zoo: Because who doesn’t love cuddling with furry friends?
- Crafts: Let your kids unleash their creativity (and give you a break).
For the Groove Enthusiasts:
A DJ will be spinning tunes all day long. Will it be rock ‘n’ roll classics to match the vintage vibe? Or maybe some modern hits for contrast? Either way, be prepared to tap your feet and maybe even bust some moves between the parked cars.
Honoring Our Heroes
While the cars are the show’s stars, let’s not forget the real VIPs – our veterans. This event is a fantastic way to honor those who’ve served our country. It’s a chance to say “thank you” while admiring some seriously cool rides. And here’s a neat twist: proceeds from t-shirt sales at the event will go to All From the Heart, a charity that supports veterans. So you can look, feel, and do good all at once!
Show Off Your Ride
Got a classic car of your own that’s itching to see the sunlight? This is your chance to show it off! Email VeteransDayClassicCarShow@gmail.com for details on how to participate. Just remember, your car needs to be pre-1980 to join the party. Sorry, 1981 DeLorean owners, you’ll have to wait for the “Back to the Future” themed show.
A Community Affair
The Veterans Day Classic Car Show is more than just an event; it’s a community coming together. Crossings at Corona, the venue hosting this shindig, is all about bringing shopping, dining, and entertainment to the heart of the community. This car show is one more way they’re revving the local spirit.
The Cherry on Top
The best part? Admission is totally free! That’s right. You can enjoy all this automotive awesomeness, family fun, and community spirit without spending a dime (unless you want to buy a t-shirt or two for a good cause).
Final Thoughts
So, whether you’re a car enthusiast, a history buff, a veteran, or just someone looking for a fun Saturday outing, the Veterans Day Classic Car Show has got you covered. It’s a chance to step back in time, honor our heroes, and create new memories with family and friends. Remember: Saturday, November 9, 2024, from 10 AM to 1 PM at Crossings at Corona.
Be there or be… well, not there. And trust us, you don’t want to miss this! In the words of a famous car enthusiast (okay, it was Lightning McQueen from “Cars”), “If you ain’t first, you’re last!” So make sure you’re first in line for this amazing event. It will be one for the books – or should we say, one for the repair manuals? See you there, Corona! Get ready to start your engines and have fun.
