Classic Car Show Photography. A place for car enthusiast to get information and photos of the California car culture, with the focus on the Ford Falcon and Ford Ranchero. Catch a car show and enjoy the ride!
You know the scene, driving down the road on a trip to somewhere and there it is, the vintage classic, showing off some history. This classic sits in front of the Railroad Museum in Bishop, the classic and the vintage gas pump showcasing a pause in time. The museum was worth the stop on the way to somewhere.
There are a lot of things that happen when showing your car at a car show. First the great conversations with the many car enthusiasts that bring their rides out, second the conversations you have with those who stop by to check out the car and for us the blue Q. Every conversation is different, but sometimes they drift to other topics, and one of those topics was the Nethercutt Museum. It has been a while since we have gone to The Nethercutt but now that we know we are sending this out. The Nethercutt Museum has a new coat of paint. This museum displays automotive history and the best part; it is free. Located in Sylmar, California, it is open Tuesday-Saturday from 9AM-4:30 for self-guided tours and if you are looking to be astonished the Grand Salon across the street have guided tours on Thursday-Saturday at 10 AM and 1:30 PM, the classic rare finds, inside this mind-blowing re-creation of a grand automotive car dealership is spectacular. Their website says to check on the timeline and suggest reservations for the free tour. There is so much to see at The Nethercutt from rare vintage automobiles, a mezzanine filled with historic radiator caps and hood mascots and the music room bursting with antique instruments and vintage furniture. Photography is welcomed, so bring a camera. Check out past visits to the historic automotive museum at car-tografi where it is all about the parts.
The first set of photos from the Road Kings June 9, 2019 car show will be up tomorrow.
This weekend is the Roadster Show, get there early it’s going to be hot.
NHRA Museum
The NHRA is a great place to visit especially if you are attending the Los Angeles County Fair. This museum showcases the classic race car scene with amazing rides, racing jackets, racing history, and a wonderful shop filled with books, t-shirts and automotive memorabilia. Check out more about the museum at car-tografi, a photographic journal of a car show and step inside race car history at the Fairplex.
Artistic symbols are a distinct ornamentation for the classic ride. From the Eagle to the flying ladies, hood mascots adorn the hood as art pieces or radiator caps. One of the best places to find amazing pieces is the Nethercutt Museum in Sylmar, California. If you get a chance check it out, the best part-its free. Look for more information on the Nethercutt here and for a artistic look at some of our hood mascots check out car-tofrafi, its all about the parts.
