The Sultans Car Club of Long Beach, CA. have been around for about 46 years. Today the club is still going strong with near 40 members. This is the 21st year of their car show and it has always been held on the grass at beautiful Signal Hill Park.  The morning weather was misty & cool then stayed overcast the rest of the day. The guys that came from the Inland Empire enjoyed cooler temps. The old, well maintained trees provided shade for over 150 pre-’75 cars. The best thing about this show is the diverse styles of cars, Classics, Lowriders, Street Rods, Trucks, Customs, and Hot Rods. 

  The live music was provided by “Sultan” Johnny Rocket & the V-Twins. A nice selection of 20 or so interesting vendors booths lined the parking lot. The event also had a raffle, 50/50, and a great BBQ. The “special” awards included some that were handmade. Thanks for the Show

It’s hard to beat a Dodge or Plymouth for styling innovation, even today.  This example is a ’55 Dodge 2 door Station Wagon and it belongs to Dan Keene

It sounds awesome!  Bob Underwood’s ’24 Ford “T” bucket from Yorba Linda, CA. also looks great. He says the most photographed part on the car is the “R.F.” graphics on the radiator.

The park has several of these very gnarly trees. Chuck & Jeanne Schauwecker of Carson, CA. found the right place to park their unique ’30 Ford Tudor art project called
