    The “Plaza” in the City of Orange is a terrific place to have a car show. It’s a real, old fashioned, plaza with park benches, trees, and a big fountain. The “Plaza” is surrounded by picturesque old style buildings with plenty of stores to browse through and restaurants with good food. Over 400 cars participated in this year’s event. The car show is arranged like a wheel and spokes so the cars circle the “Plaza” then go down each of the “spoke” side streets and for the most part lots of vendors occupy the center of the “Plaza”.  “Thumper” the live DJ entertained all day.  This show always attracts a good variety of cars from hot rods, to traditional rods, and customs.

Thanks for the Show!
