Story & Photos by: Roger Rohrdanz

    Lucky 13 is an American rockabilly hot rod clothing company for men and women.  In celebration of their 20 years of business, they presented “Tiki Highway”.  Located at Don the Beachcomber’s on Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach, CA.  A very diverse group of cars filled the parking lot in front and behind the restaurant.  Lots of customs, some vintage cars, several cool vans, street rods and a lot of bikes.   A “Tiki Farm” was set up for vendors to exhibit their wares.  Lots of art and collectables were on display.  Live rogerrohrdanzbands were supposed to be performing, but I didn’t hear any.  Lots of “Pin-up Girls” were on-hand to spice up the event.  Since the show was on PCH, on Sunday afternoon, the traffic was very interesting.

Thanks for the Show!
