Santa Barbara, California came alive to the sights and sounds of the 2nd Annual State Street Nationals on Sunday, 05/17/15. All pre-registered vehicles were judged in one of the eighteen categories; for those who didn’t want to have their vehicle judged, and for those who registered on the day of the show, a nineteenth category, “display only” was available. State Street was packed with 215 pre-registered classic cars, hotrods and muscle cars as well as approximately 35 day-of-show entries.
The State Street Nationals covered over ten blocks (approximately one mile); in addition to all the great vehicles there was live music and lots of vendors. Another nice touch for this show is that the organizers leave lots of room between vehicles, making it easy for everyone (including photographers) to see each and every vehicle. The weather was perfect, the setting couldn’t get any better and the car show itself was fantastic.
Mark your calendar now for next years’ show, May 21-22, 2016.......see you there!
