“Rev’ed Up for Kidz” is a charity car show held at Edelbrock’s in Torrance, CA. This show benefits The Center for Learning Unlimited (CLU). 

At about 7:15am Hot Rods started lining up to wait their turn to be parked on the streets around the Edelbrock building. A couple of private car collections totaling about 20 cars were moved into place. Eventually all 325 Hot Rods found a place in the show.

Approximately 4000 spectators came to see not only the cars but also “Vic’s Garage” which was open to the public. The curator Ralph Guldahl was very helpful with essential information. All the staff members are volunteers and not paid.

100% of the proceeds go to the charity! This event raised over $80,000. for CLU!! 

Next year the show will be on Sunday, April 25, 2010 and bigger!

Thanks for the Show!
