Here’s to the Classic Ride

Happy New Year

We originally started the website as a focus for the ’65, then moved on to showcasing classic cars from the southern California car shows we attended.

The past two years made that impossible. However, car shows are starting to rev back up with the new year. Learning from the loss of our favorite car shows, we thought this would be a great time to move the website into a new space with a focus on the rides we have accumulated over the past ten years.

Some of the original pages are here but in a new format:

We moved the Ford Collections into Falcon Focus, where the Ranchero and the Ford Falcon line up with classics, emblems, and signatures.

Check out the Classic Lounge: an automotive source page from our car show experiences, starting with the 65 Ranchero Contributors-business who have touched our 1965 Ranchero from the engine to paint.

Beach Van Project is all about a work in progress.

The First Ride

Introducing Classic Style- Starting with the original ride, the Ford Model T. The classic car can get lost in the lineup of one fabulous ride after another. Going through the archives to break down the classic into a new format focused on the make, model color, style.

All our favorite car shows are still here, and hopefully, we will be adding to the roster as the year progresses.
Happy New Year
, looking forward to 2022 and the rides.
