I use to live just up the road from the El Camino Center. That was back in the early 70's. Just to clarify that Calabasas boundry is about 1/4 mile to the west. That center is actually in Woodland Hills. Not that this information changes anything. I was a relative newcomer to the Sunday morning gathering and really enjoyed the mixture of people and cars. The close proximity to the many canyon roads was a big plus. It's a shame it had to stop. I think if the event was better organized or managed, designating a part of the lot that we could gather in without disrupting the parking flow, it could have worked and everyone ( stores and cars guys) would be happy. I was there twice on the last Sunday of the month and one time there were cars parked everywhere occupying spaces and fire lanes for atleats the whole southern half of the lot with overflow parking in the outskirts down by the CVS. The second time there was not nearly the same crowd. But you had to get there at 6:30am to get a preferred spot and most were leaving by 10:30am. I wonder if the guy driving the Bugatti Veyron was one of the center's owner? It was fun while it lasted. NO LOITERING, BICYCLES, SKATEBOARDS OR CLASSIC CARS!
