 El Segundo is not your usual city. In many ways it’s a city time has passed by. This 11th annual event was not your usual show! Lined up for a quarter mile on Main Street was an impressive array of everything from 1930’s thru 1980’s cars, museum quality Packard’s, Lincoln’s, Cadillac’s. On hand were imports, custom pickups, racecars, & military vehicles. Main Street and Grand have lots of shops and restaurants so there was good shopping, good food and something for the whole family. A live band played all day. Roger Stephenson,
